    What video card do I have?

    I'm running slackware 11.0 on an old compaq with an integrated video card. How do I find out the make, model and amount of memory?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    You can use the lspci command to find out the make and model of your graphics card. As for the amount of memory, you can find this in the bios settings since the graphics chip is integrated into the motherboard.

    Thanks daark.child

    I need to use xorgconfig but can't without knowing which driver to use or how much memory it has.

    I can't get into the bios in my computer. I used to be able to until I had to clear the CMOS RAM. It doesn't show things like "press F1 to enter the bios menu" anymore. Now it just shows the compaq logo and boots into lilo. I tried tons of keys to get into the bios but none of them work.

    Is there another way to find the amount of memory, it lists memory when I use lspci.

    I found drivers here but i don't think they'll work:

    Code:
    # lspci -vvv -s 00:01.0
