Shouldn't video be OK as long as you use free drivers? When i switched
my voodo 3 for a flashy new geforce 2mx, FC2 did all correct, asked me a
couple of questions like "vodoo removal detected, reconfigure?" and
"nvidia attachment detected - configure?". All i did was "yes", and
gdm
etc came up nicely.
Even with closed drivers , it shouldnt be an issue.. Except for ATI
cards.. The fglrx config tool adds a line to the X config that says the
device ID (or bus ID , dont remmember now the exactly item) that is
motherboard dependent....
I had a bit of headache trying to understand what was going on and it
took some time till found the option hidden in the X config...
now , for nvidia cards with the binary driver , works perfectly.. My
brother changed his motherboard and everything worked as it should...
