What video driver am I using?

[Luke M]

How do I find out what video driver I'm using, add/remove etc? I looked in the xorg.conf file, but there's nothing of interest there; the file is almost empty. In general, is there any way to manage drivers from a convenient GUI interface, or does everything have to be done via text files?

Try the log file viewer > Xorg.O.log if you have not installed a proprietary video driver . If you have check Xserver settings for Nvidia or the ATI counterpart . I am not familiar with Intel drivers.

Here is some commands I have copied from this forum.

lspci  -mm | grep VGA
lspci -v
lsmod
sudo lshw -C display ; dpkg -l grep nvidia

Hi, if you have an intel graphics chip you can run this command and it will show all the intel modules that are loaded including intel graphics driver.

sudo lspci -k

Hi s1baker,

can it be that "|" is missing in your last command before the grep?
