I'm not sure how to get the actual video card info without opening up
the box and looking, but from my xorg.conf file there's this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
ModelName "Monitor 800x600"
HorizSync 31.5 - 35.1
VertRefresh 50.0 - 61.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
If there's another way to get more info about this, please let me know
as I don't have a good grip on all the various Linux commands that real
SysAdmins know.
