I was just thinking....
In the event that I have to change from the integrated Intel video chipset on
this motherboard and start using a separate video card to obtain DVI output,
will Fedora 8 automatically detect and make the necessary change?
If, for example, I put in an ATI card, will everything "just work", or will I
have to do a bunch of setup and changes? Since I don't really have a whole lot
of material on this computer yet (I haven't really finished setting it up
completely yet) perhaps it would be simplest to just to a complete reinstall?
Or will everything just keep on clicking along without any grief?
High probability of "just work," at least if you put in a card and
disable onboard video. The BIOS will figure it out, the boot should say
something like "look what I found" and get it to a working state.
If you use the Intel add-on, I would bet zero problems, you still get
analog and DVI as well.
I would save the video config file just in case, though, being ready for
a problem usually prevents it.
