69 lspci and 'lspci -v' among other hardware discovery tools might help you
70 get the firmware and exact kernel options needed for your kernel
71 built correctly.
72
73 I always put the video codes into the kernel, but some have success with
74 setting up those codes, via a loadable modules.
75
76 other tools:: 'lshw'
