Jason,

You probably do not need to worry about clock chip settings. This was for the older video chips which is not often used anymore. To see what version of Xfree86 you are running just type Xfree86 –version. This will tell you the running version. To find out what your hardware is you can use Superprobe. Just type Superprobe at the command prompt and hopefully it will find it. If it does not, then you will have to open up the PC and look at the chip on the video card. This should give you a good idea of who made the video card. Then go to their website and look for a program that can diagnose their chipset. A lot of video cards will have a small firmware bitmap that displays just before your boot up or POST screen comes up that should tell you a lot about the video card.
