A light just went off over my head. For mnths, maybe yrs... I've
wondered why so many x11 drivers would get installed.
OK, but a quick google on `site:gentoo.org VIDEO_CARDS' didn't turn up
a way to determine what card is on the machine. At least not a
recognizable hit I can see is about that.
I'm pretty sure I can get that info without opening the cover but I'm
drawing blanks about how.
