You can try "dmidecode" (it's a command line tool).
Well, at least some of that is in English. I went through it,
line by line, a couple of times. But all I could see that might be
relevant was this :
===== ===== =====
Handle 0x0023, DMI type 10, 6 bytes.
On Board Device Information
Type: Video
Status: Enabled
Description: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
===== ===== =====
The DMI data doesn't come from the various pieces of hardware themselves. It's
all stored in a memory on the motherboard, so it doesn't necessarily have
anything to do with what hardware is actually installed. It seems only big
corporations have tools to write to the DMI memory.
Is there something else I should be looking for?? What I know of
hardware would go in a gnat's eye -- and never discommode the gnat.
Try running lspci and looking for words like "display", "graphics" and "VGA".
