Which nivida drivers?

[Doll, Margaret Ann]

Thanks for the tip on lshw.  I installed the package.  I had to run it as

lshw > ~/hardware.

The hardware file then had all the information I needed.  I will look at
your other suggestions because keeping up with the nvidia drivers on a
linux system is a pain.

dmidecode only seemed to give information on devices that were a integral
part of the cpu system and not to devices attached to the system such as
monitors.
