Hi Bruce,

I don't think that anything will need to be recompiled to make use of
your new graphics card.  I would guess (though this is only a guess)
that you would want to make sure that X-windows is using the correct
server to take advantage of the graphics card and that everything else
should fall into place.

Have a good day,
