in the database or it's an older card) you may find a suitable driver in the
Xorg category</p><p>The Xorg listing provides more than 40 generic and open source video
card drivers. If you still can't find a named driver for your card there is
the option of using the vesa driver which provides basic
capabilities.</p><p>Be aware that if you select an incompatible driver you may only have
access to the Commandline Interface.</p><p>Some video card manufacturers provide proprietary drivers for Linux
which may only be available in the Nonfree repository and in some cases only
from the card manufacturers' websites.</p><p>The Nonfree repository needs to be explicitly enabled to access them.
If you didn't select it previously, you should do this after your first
reboot.</p></div><script xmlns="" type="text/javascript" src="main.js"><!----></script><hr xmlns=""/><div xmlns="" class="copyright">© Mageia</div><div xmlns="" class="license"><a href="index.html#CC_BY-SA">CC BY-SA 3.0</a></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="configureX_chooser.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="configureX_monitor.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> </td></tr></table></div></div><div><div id="leftnavigation"><div id="tabs"><ul><li><a href="#treeDiv"><em>Contents</em></a></li><li><a href="#searchDiv"><em>Search</em></a></li></ul><div id="treeDiv"><img src="../common/images/loading.gif" alt="loading table of contents..." id="tocLoading" style="display:block;"/><div id="ulTreeDiv" style="display:none"><ul id="tree" class="filetree"><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html">Select and use ISOs</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e18">Media</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e20">Definition</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e25">Classical installation media</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e27">Common features</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e34">DVD</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e45">DVD dual arch</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e56">Live media</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e58">Common features</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e72">Live CD KDE</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e81">Live CD GNOME</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e90">Live DVD KDE</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e99">Live DVD GNOME</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e108">Boot-only CD media</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e110">Common features</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e121">boot.iso</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e126">boot-nonfree.iso</a></span></li></ul></li></ul></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e131">Downloading and Checking Media</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e133">Downloading</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e144">Checking the downloaded media integrity</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e156">Burn or dump the ISO</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e159">Burning the ISO to a CD/DVD</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e164">Dump the ISO to a USB stick</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e170">Using Mageia</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e205">Using Windows</a></span></li></ul></li></ul></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="Select-and-use-ISOs.html#d4e213">Mageia Installation</a></span></li></ul></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="installer.html">DrakX, the Mageia Installer</a></span><ul><li><span class="file section"><a href="installer.html#installationSteps">The installation steps</a></span></li><li><span class="file section"><a href="installer.html#installationProblems">Installation Problems and
