Choose an X Server (Configure your Graphic Card)

DrakX has a very comprehensive database of video cards and will usually +correctly identify your video device.

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:

  • vendor

  • then the name of your card

  • and the type of card

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

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.

Be aware that if you select an incompatible driver you may only have access +to the Commandline Interface.

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.

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.
