**Very Important !!!! Easy way to get your driver information !!!!**

To get support with motherboards, sound, wireless, ethernet and graphics cards, you need to know what you have installed and which drivers are used. There are two methods to do this.

Method 1
This takes only 3 steps to get a print out:

1. Open your terminal and enter

Code:

lspci -n

Mine gives me:

Code:

00:00.0 0600: 1106:3099
00:01.0 0604: 1106:b099
00:05.0 0200: 168c:0013 (rev 01)
00:06.0 0200: 10ec:8139 (rev 10)
00:08.0 0401: 1274:5880 (rev 04)
00:11.0 0601: 1106:3074
00:11.1 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 06)
00:11.2 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 1b)
00:11.4 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 1b)
01:00.0 0300: 10de:0322 (rev a1)

2. Highlite, right click and copy the data

3. Go to http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and paste the data and click "check"

You now have a list of your hardware make, model and driver Wink

Code:

10de0322 Yes NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] nv

I would probably get rid of the Via motherboard details and keep the Audio, Graphics card and Wireless.
And tidy it up a bit Wink

Method 2

Use the program "Hardinfo" It will generate a html rport which you can open in your browser and copy and paste the details.

Code:

sudo apt-get install hardinfo
