Hello, I am brand new to linux and had a few questions. I recently installed FC7 and was wondering if there was any sort of command line/gui based way of disabling my video card. My reason for doing so is that the video card fan is very old and makes alot of noise and I generally just plan on booting the machine on and logging in remotely. I would just take the card out itself however I was hoping there was a way I could do it just every time I log on that way if something happens i can just reconnect the monitor without worries. If this is possible and not highly ill advised i would appreciate any help. Thank you for your time
Check the BIOS to see if your computer will continue to boot without a card installed. Since you are not interested in playing games or viewing video you can replace your noisey card with a fanless one; they're not that expensive.
