I got a few responses directly to me and the combined response is as follows:<div><br></div><div>> Backup! Backup! Backup!</div><div><br></div><div>Its a HTPC machine and there is no data on it to backup so good there,</div>
<div><br></div><div>> Remove proprietary driver and allow xorg to use the generic or open source drivers </div><div><br></div><div>Check</div><div><br></div><div>> Manually download the new driver before I switch the video cards. </div>
