I installed a new video card in my Linux box and Linux can't recognize it. It's in a different PCIE slot than the dead one was.

I think I need to reconfigure X-Server somehow from the command line during boot, however, I don't have a clue.

If you're running ubuntu....to reconfigure for a new VC type:


sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Then either reboot or type in:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

No guarantees!!! I found this from a couple of sources on the net.

If you're running a diff version of linux, let me know and I can find the right commands.

I tried those already. The sudo command returns: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440

EDIT: I use Debian/GNU AMD64.

I fixed the sudo problem with a rescue disk. Running the reconfigure works up to the point where the terminal in not recognized.

I got it running by switching in a VC from another box, running the reconfiguration, and rebooting.

I put the new VC in the other box and re-installed Linux and everything is swell!

Thanks for your help!
