I just swapped out my GeForce 2 MX card for a Matrox G400 Dualhead.  The only 
change I made was changing my driver from "nv" to "mga" in my XF86Config file.

Everything seems at first blush to be running fine - this is 4.3-STABLE 
running XFree86 4.03 and KDE 2.1.  

This was astoundingly easy...  Is there some step I missed that will come 
back to haunt me later?  I don't know if there's some specific procedure to 
swapping out video cards.  Yep, I'm being paranoid.

Justin
