Open a shell.
Type on a line : dmesg .
You can use the line : less dmesg
It will tell you a lot including type of video card.
Want to change the video mode? Use SaX.

I have acquire a Dell Inspirion 4100 made in about 2001. The Win2K
install was corrupted, so I wiped it off the HD and installed LInux.
Things work well, but the video seems generic. Is there a way to
determine which video card is installed without opening the case?
TIA
John
