Re: [SLE] Figuring out the hardware

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. Adam -----Original Message----- From: John Gilger Subj: [SLE] Figuring out the hardware Date: Mon Jan 9, 2006 7:35 pm Size: 500 bytes To: suse-linux-e@suse.com 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?
