Finding out my video card from the command line
 

Hey,

I am at work and I don't want to open up my machine to find out what my video card is because....well I am lazy =). What command will tell me what my video card is. I want to install Mandrake 10 but I want to make sure my video card is compatible. I tried to install at home but my ATI Rage 128 TV Out video card wouldn't work with Mandrake 10 :( and I don't want that to happen at work. I am pretty sure it is a gForce something or other but want to make sure.

Thanks.

This should show some info:
scanpci
Use the -v option to get some more info.

If you have X running: Check the startuplogfile, there should be a lot of info there.
Check the (boot/startup) logfiles (especially if AGP is present).

Hope this helps.

/sbin/lspci -v should show everything on the pci bus.
good luck.

Thanks!

Worked great.
