Try "lspci -v"? This link may also be useful: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...d-for-a-device

Corvette, thank you for the help. It says the current driver is amdgpu. I believe that is the one I loaded. It doesn't show the full 4GB of memory on it, but maybe that is another command I don't know about.
