<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 Nonfree repository and in some cases only
from the card manufacturers' websites.</para>
<para>The Nonfree repository needs to be explicitly enabled to access them.
If you didn't select it previously, you should do this after your first
reboot.</para>
