    Ok, so you can tell I'm a real beginner with Linux.  I had an accident when I was upgrading my motherboard. I dropped the video card which was a Trident 8900D.  So I had to buy a new video card, some halfway decent off brand (Alliance ProMotion 24bit true color everything...) and I tried to start X windows but I get a mess when the server comes up.  How without having to re-install my linux package can I change the driver to use  X windows.   Any help is greatly appreciated..
