[p][b]Note:[/b] The name of each device is written at the row starting with "idProduct" (see the text in bold in the above list)[/p]
[p]Another program that can be handy to retrieve hardware information, specially USB drivers used by the system is [b]hwinfo[/b]. Note that this doesn't come with a standard GNU/Linux distribution, and you'll have to install it with your package management system or from source code.[/p]

[h2]The kernel libre version you are using[/h2]
[p] Open a terminal and type the following command:[/p]

[code] uname -r[/code]

[h2]The name of your video card[/h2]
[p] Open a terminal and type the following command:[/p]

[code] sudo lspci[/code]

Then look for the row containing the string VGA or Display controller. You can also try one of the following commands:

[code] lspci | grep "Display controller"[/code]

or

[code] lspci | grep "VGA"[/code]

[h2]The VendorID:ProductID code of your device[/h2]
(Thanks [a]http://trisquel.info/en/forum/h-nodecom-new-website-hardware-database#comment-5839|Michał Masłowski[/a] and [a]http://trisquel.info/en/forum/h-nodecom-new-website-hardware-database#comment-5837|Julius22[/a])
[h3] If the device is integrated (example: a video card) [/h3]
[p] Open a terminal and type the following command:[/p]

[code] sudo lspci -nnk[/code]

You should obtain a list of hardware similar to the one written below
[code]
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN {{[b]14e4:4311[/b]}} (rev 02)

Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb[/code]

[p] The strings in [b]bold[/b] and placed inside the square brackets (in the above list) are the code you are looking for. The first set of digits (before the colon) are the [b]VendorID[/b], the second set of digits are the [b]ProductID[/b]. In the above example: the [i]VendorID:ProductID[/i] code of the wifi card (note the strings "Network controller" and "WLAN") is [b]14e4:4311[/b] while the VendorID:ProductID code of the video card (note the string "VGA") is [b]10de:0427[/b][/p]

[h3] If the device is an USB device (example: an external USB wifi card) [/h3]
[p] Open a terminal and type the following command:[/p]

[code] sudo lsusb[/code]

You should obtain a list of hardware similar to the one written below

[p] The string in [b]bold[/b] (in the above list) is the driver's device that is using in order to work on your system.[/p]

[h2]If the video card works[/h2]

[p] Install rss-glx by means of the package manager of your distribution or compiling it from source and try some screensavers (for example Skyrocket or Solarwinds). Check if you can play the screensaver (and/or if you can play it smoothly)
[/p]
[h2]If the 3D acceleration works[/h2]
[p] Try to enable compiz[/p]
[h2]How to discover the name of your wifi card[/h2]

[p] Open a terminal and type the following command:[/p]

[code] sudo lspci[/code]

Then look for the row containing the string Wireless or Network controller. You can also try one of the following commands:

[code] lspci | grep "Wireless" [/code]

or

[code] lspci | grep "Network" [/code]

[h2]The printer driver you are using[/h2]
[p][h3] If you are using cups[/h3][/p]
[p] Open a terminal and type the following command:[/p]

[code] dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' cups[/code]

[h2]The architecture of your notebook[/h2]
[p] Open a terminal and type the following command:[/p]

[code] cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "lm"[/code]

If you get a message like this:

[code] flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts
acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx [b]lm[/b] constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts aperfmperf pni dtes64
monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm[/code]
[p]
then you machine is x86-64/amd64 capable and you could choose a x86-64/amd64 distro to run on it.[/p]
