    Try
    Code:
    sudo lshw | grep Radeon
    Be careful with sudo! The most damage you can do when not root is destroy your life's work, which should be reconstructable in mere decades; wheras running as root you could damage Ubuntu itself, requiring a reinstall which takes up to half an hour!
