These days X is clever enough to choose appropriate driver for you. |
| 8 |
I'd suggest to build X with following video drivers: "intel radeon nv |
| 9 |
nvidia sis via xgi vesa", since that covers 90% (or even more) of modern |
| 10 |
built-in video adapters. |
| 11 |
Then issue "X -configure" as root and X will produce appropriate |
| 12 |
xorg.conf in "/root/xorg.conf.new" with all the possible parameters for |
| 13 |
your card, so you won't have to figure them out yourself. |
| 14 |
You can also remove all the drivers but the one chosen by X and "vesa" |
| 15 |
(in case something breaks or you get a new card) afterwards. |
