    do I need to install a new driver?

    I just upgraded from an nvidea 6600 to an 8800 series vid card. I seems to be working fine,,but I dont know if I need to upgrade my driver,,or if that happens automatically? From my xorg.conf:

    Code:
    from Section "Device"
        Identifier     "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]"
        Driver         "nvidia"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Screen"
            #ending fa mod
        Identifier     "Default Screen"
        Device         "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600]"
        Monitor        "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        Option         "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
        Option         "NoLogo" "True"
        Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
        SubSection     "Display"
      #begining fa mod May 27 2008
            Viewport    0 0
            Depth       24
            Modes      "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1360x768" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1280x720" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
    EndSection
    Nvidea settings sees the card,,shown in th thumbnails.
    Do I just manually edit xorg.conf? or do I need to download and install a new driver?

    Thank you

    You should be fine. I don't see any reason to upgrade unless it's causing you problems.
