I know this will sound harsh, but truly, these are the answers to your question:
google the name of your video card. even use the keyword busID when you search.

Use a more constructive thread title name to get more help and response from board members. A great title would have been "howto find busID of video card?"

good luck with the google and take care-

shane200_ - you have been around long enough by now to know that you should use a decent thread title. "Help" tells us absolutely nothing about your problem and is impossible to search for.

Whack in a live cd, open a console and type in lspci -v and make a note of all the information that comes up.

If your system has only one graphics card and one monitor, you can leave the BusID unspecified.

Despite you are new to linux (everyone here has been once), I agree w/ both XavierP and titanium_geek in the fact that should you choose a better tittle for your threads in order to attract immediate and specific attention to the issue you throw in the forum......in the end you will be benefited....believe me!!.
