I have yet to find a single machine (and I just tested it on all 8 in my immediate vicinity) that the command I gave won't give you back the model number of the card. <br><br>Can anyone provide an example of a machine where:<br>
<br>sudo lspci -v | grep VGA <br><br>doesn't give you the exact model of the video card?<br><br>Glenn<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 5:55 PM, Jon Pruente <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jdpruente@gmail.com">jdpruente@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

flags just right on a command set. On most machines lspci outputs<br>
less than two screen pages of info. lspci is the command to deal with<br>
here and it's output is nearly always easy enough to wade through<br>
without needing a custom grep/filter set to get what you need. Heck,<br>
(nearly?) all AGP video chips show up on PCI:1:0:0, so that's usually<br>
the only thing to look for if it's an AGP machine.<br>
