Hi,there. I've been wondering the question "Is video card driver really necessary for my Linux box?(quite dummy,I know)" since the very first time installation of Fedora~ I mean,the universal video card driver sailed with fedora is good. What's more,I broke my fedora when I try to install a ATI driver once~ So would you guys let me know is there *any* goodies that a video card driver can do to me?
If you've got video at a decent resolution then you have a driver specific to your hardware already. If you use nVidia or ATI graphics then the manufacturer's drivers are usually needed for 3D acceleration (including desktop effects). Do you have an ATI card? What type? -- imalone
