    New Video Card

    I'm thinking of getting a new video card. Do I need to uninstall the drivers for the old card?

    nobody's picked this one up, so...

    the simple answer is: no!

    i'd go about this as follows:
    - physically install your new card into your box
    - install drivers for your new card

    your new card will be found at a different hardware path, so:
    - instruct the graphics server to use the new card at the new hw path
    - make sure the new card work alright

    the "lspci" command will tell you the path of the devices on the bus.
