I went from a Matrox G400 that died :( to an Nvidia GeForce MX 4000.
Two questions, I guess:

1) Can that card even be set up at all without installing binary 
drivers?

2) How to call the config program from text mode (e.g. in SUSE, you can 
run the "YaST" config utility under X or either in console mode).
