I just bought a new computer, and I've never had to install new drivers
with my old ones, so I'm very new at this. If I install linux drivers
for XFree86 for my VIA KN400 video card, will I need to run the linux
emulation layer for them to function? If so, is it any different from
running the layer for an application? Is there a specific command for
installing new drivers?
