[Tfug] video card

OK,
       The first thing to do is check the kernel configuration. If you 
have a distro that has the option
of a default configuration. Chances are that the drivers are modularized 
and the hardware detection
procedure will activate a module  for each video chip. I don't know what 
your distro is, but
they all have some mechanism  for activating modules at bootup. Check  
that first.

        The lspci is a command also worth running.
