[gentoo-user] upgrading vid card

[Aaron Walker]

I just bought a new video card for my 2nd machine (my windows gaming 
box), and so I thought I would replace the ATI Rage128 I have in this 
box (Gentoo 1.4) with the GF4 Ti4200 that I am taking out of the windows 
box.

I was just wondering which installation method would be better, or if it 
even matters:

a) download and install the driver from Nvidia's site
b) follow the directions of the Gentoo Linux Desktop Configuration Guide 
(which is basically just emerge nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel, then edit 
config files, and load nvidia module)

I would prefer option A, but I just wanted to run it by the list first 
before I do it.. I finally have this gentoo box running *perfectly* 
(just installed it last week.. couldn't be more pleased), and I don't 
want to mess anything up ;)

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Aaron
