if you know what driver you need the easiest and safest way is to
edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and change the driver
(sample)
[..]
Section "Device"
Identifier "Matrox"
Driver "mga"
#VideoRam
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
[..]
(end sample)
change Driver from mga to something else.
If your not certain what driver you need you can check the X
documentation..
for Xfree86 4.1.0 which is in stable the docs are here:
http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/RELNOTES4.html#14
if changing drivers involves more then just literally changing the
driver(e.g. changing configuration) then I reccomend running one
of the tools for doing it.. e.g.
X -configure
anXious
xf86config
(etc..)
