Hi ,

How do I probe for Video card firmware version? Is there any straight away command or any stand alone application to get it?

Thanks in advance

Try "lspci" shuld tell you, if not do "dmesg|grep firmware" probably will get it.

hi Wildpossum,

Have a look at my lspci

00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 01)
00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH/GHM (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 6 (rev 01)

Ok, try as root "cat /var/log/messages|grep fglrx" and as the ATI devices usually run the fglrx module, sometimes (card dependant) it will give the firmware informatio.

Also, what Linux distro are you using?
