If/When all else fails, I find the exact version of the chip(s) in |
| 11 |
the video hardware. I then go read the comments on the various related video |
| 12 |
device drivers in the kernel codes, as the best place to see exactly what is |
| 13 |
going on with a given chipset. The past few years have seen many of the |
| 14 |
video codes merged into larger collections in a single, unified driver, so |
| 15 |
you may have to go back to kernels that correspond to when the linux driver |
| 16 |
code first (or soon after) appeared for that chipset...... |

It's a massive pain the in the wazoo, but, you'd be surprised at what details |
| 19 |
often appear in the (legacy) kernel dirver code comments...... |
