How to tell the system to detect a new graphic card and install the
respective drivers?

Command: system-config-display

Thanks, Joachim. I have just done that, but it is strange that as a
normal user, the quality of the image looks fine, but when I run a
graphical program as root, I get a bad quality image. A screenshot is
at:

Any further ideas?

Paul

I recommend you try system-config-display with the --reconfig option as
this will ignore current settings and (I believe) probe your card for
all new values.

Let me know if this works as I hope to get a new video card today.
