CentOS - Aug 2007 - Changing video cards - fixing X

X does not seem to understand automagically the change in video even 
though the new video info is in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf

So what steps are needed to get X fixed?

Run 'system-config-display --reconfig'

This will force your system to generate a new xorg.conf, which you can
set to use your new card.

YES!!!!!

thank you.

Now I have one, I hope, minor cleanup. On boot I get a warning about 
atkbd.c failure. Well, yeah, the install system had PS/2 keyboard and 
mouse ports. The target system does not, using only USB (or bluetooth).

Also it seems that udev takes a long time to start.
