Further to my original post, it was and is my intention to use replace
the internal graphics card with Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS card, which I
have already but have yet to install. It will of course will use a
different driver. In that case, does it really matter whether I have a
driver for the Intel integrated graphics chipset, since it will be
disabled when the new card is installed?
No, it doesn't matter *unless* you want to use the Intel VGA.
For GeForce 7600GS you have the following options:
1/ "nv" driver (only 2-D)
2/ "nvidia" driver from Debian "contrib" and "non-free" sources
3/ "nvidia" driver from nvidia website
4/ VESA driver (not recommended)
I am currently using option #2 for my GeForce 7600GS in Debian lenny and
works pretty well.
