There are some special purpose LED displays that may need drivers, but
they're usually specialist items for things like embedded devices or
Raspberry Pi projects. Generally monitors use HDMI and/or Display Port
these days, and you only need a driver for the GPU inside the PC.

&gt; &gt; &gt; I haven&#39;t tested that, but hopefully it will work for yo=

&gt; &gt; This is necessary because several commands are needed:<br>
