You can run "lspci", which will tell you what video chipset is in use.

For example, when I do this, the output includes the following line:

02:06.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4
MX 4000 AGP 8x] (rev c1)

So then I run "lspci -n |grep 02:06.0", and get:

02:06.0 0300: 10de:0185 (rev c1)

That tells me the vendor and model (10de is Nvidia's ID).

So what are the vendor and model numbers for your video chipset?
