You can always change your xf86 configuration to use the other card, not a problem. > Also, when I try to run XFree, I get an error saying "fatal error: no > screens found". Any clue on how can I fix this? I had the same problem. I *think* this is how i solved it: as root, run xf86config answer all of the questions when complete, i think you will find a file in your /root directory called XF86Config. go to your /etc/X11/ directory and rename your current XF86Config-4 file: mv XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.SAVE Then, move and rename the /root/XF86Config file to /etc/X11/ like so: mv /root/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I am pretty sure that is how i did it. > Another thing is > that, > while configuring XFree for the first time, it lets me cose between > kdm, > gdm and xdm. Which one do you recommend me? Will you want to run Gnome or KDE? I would use gdm and like it, i try to stay away from KDE. But if you want to run KDE, i recommend you use kdm of course. You can change the default display manager editing: /etc/X11/default-display-manager There is also a tool to do this graphically: dpkg-reconfigure gdm > And.. Another question..

Pull the plug, plug it back in :-) (==timothy==)
