<DIV><SPAN class=984261506-10062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>First off I'll admit 
to not knowing as much as I should about my system, and am hoping to correct 
that as I go (that's part of the reason I'm actually doing it this way). I'm 
trying to set up X on my system, and am not entirely sure which video card I 
have. I've already checked out lspci and lsmod, but nothing that appears, at 
least to me, to be specific to my video card jumps out at me. I accept that it 
may not have been compiled into the kernel, which is actually a lot of why I'm 
posting here. If anyone can lend a hand in this general area, that'd be greatly 
appreciated. I did do some looking on google, but didn't find a whole lot beyond 
folks just guessing and hoping they got it right. Sorry if this comes off as far 
too newbie-ish for this list, but I am quite new to this aspect of linux. Again, 
thank you in advance for any help you can 
provide.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
