<para>DrakX has a very comprehensive database of video cards and will usually correctly identify your video device.</para>
<para>If the installer has not correctly detected your graphic card and you know which one you have, you can select it from the tree by:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>vendor</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>then the name of your card</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>and the type of card</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para>If you cannot find your card in the vendor lists (because it's not yet in the database
or it's an older card) you may find a suitable driver in the Xorg category</para>
<para>The Xorg listing provides more than 40 generic and open source video card drivers.
If you still can't find a named driver for your card there is the option of using
the vesa driver which provides basic capabilities.</para>
<para>Be aware that if you select an incompatible driver you may only have access
to the Commandline Interface.</para>
<para>Some video card manufacturers provide proprietary drivers for Linux which may only
be available in the Non-free or Tainted repositories and in some cases only from the
card manufacturers' websites </para>
<para>The Non-free and Tainted repositories need to be explicitly enabled to access them,
you should do this after your first reboot.</para>
