[SOLVED] How to see what video driver is installed?

Post by man_without_clue »

Hi all,

I installed LMDE2 to my PC full automatic, meaning I didn't have to do anything. It's working completely out of box.
Now, I wonder how do I find what video driver this system is running?

I have Radeon HD 2400 PRO and I didn't have to install anything unlike I had to do for Debian Wheezy.

You are using the open source driver by default.

As exploder says. If you want a full overview of your hardware and system, you can do this:
- launch a terminal window and make it full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fx
(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter)

Press Enter.

Also, if you only need to see your video card/driver info, run this:

Code: Select all

inxi -Gx
