[10.04]Best Method To Replace Video Card?

[Gilles Gravier]

 Hi!

Turn off the machine. Remove the old card. Plug in the new card. Reboot
the machine.

Come back and report success to the mailing list.

Should be that simple.

You might be suggested to install an updated proprietary driver... do so. :)
