[11.0] nVidia 9600 driver after gfx card update?

[NorthWay]

(I have a hodgepodge of trouble with my system, but lets start at this end)

I’m running 11.0 (having gone 10.1 - 10.2 - 10.3) and I just upgraded from an nVidia 7300GT gfx card to an nVidia 9600GT one.
However, SaX2 says my card is still “7300”.

Is this a problem? Do I have the wrong driver? Can I get it to report what I expect?

Thanks in advance

Hi
The nvidia driver is the same, you just haven’t re-run the sax2
command. You can manually edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Have a read here;

Thanks! Now SaX makes sense.
