Chances are good if your card is reasonably modern, it's already supported by XFree4, in which case you'll configure a module for it. The Debian Way of doing that is Branden's department, I just help people set up DRI (which is amusing considering that I have yet to get it working for my new system, but that's neither here nor there..) > I discovered this when I tried to patch commands found in the config file > generated by xf86config and the server didn't recognize the "Section > InputDevice" command. > > I guess the next thing is to try to upgrade my xserver-svga. There's dexconf or whatever it's called for that. There's also XFree86 -configure to let X configure itself. > I recently upgraded my mother board so I could run VMware, and this board > has an SiS6326 graphics card built into the board (this one has everything > but a coffeemaker ;-).
