Unknown video board - can I tell what I have? [SOLVED]

I have a laptop with an unknown video board.  The sticker on the machine simply says, "nvidia quadro."  The nvidia-173xx package doesn't seem to work; when I enter X my screen goes block and keyboard/mouse lock up.  Is there something akin to 'cat /proc/cpu' for a GPU?
Thanks!

Nice, thanks!
EDIT: I just found this tip in the beginner's guide too.

  • How can I tell what songs have been purchased?

    So, I've been going through some guilt and have been replacing copied songs with Apple Store purchases. However, some songs I am clueless about. Is there a way to tell what songs have NOT been purchases through the Apple Store (or, Amazon, for that matter)?

    If you mean to check if one of your songs hasn't been purchesed by you yet, then one way to do it is going to iTunes and then to the iTunes Store. Once there, in iTunes 11.2.2, there is a column to the left labled QUICK LINKS. From there there are four imediate options: Account, Redeem, Purchased, and Support. If you click on purchesed, it will show you the songs you have bought from apple. Once you have clicked purched, there is also an option on the top right hand corner to show all of your purcheses or just the ones that are not on your mac.
    Hope this is what you were looking for.

  • How can you tell what users have which reports open in Infoview

    Hi!
    In Crystal Server XI, is there any way that you can see what reports are currently being viewed in Infoview and by what user?  Or a history of how many times a report has been viewed so that I can tell which reports are not used that often and maybe adjust the schedule or get rid of them. 
    Thanks,
    Cyndi

    Cyndi,
    The method to track the information you are seeking is called Auditor.  Auditor is either installed at server software initialization or the install can be performed after you're deployed by re-installing the software and choosing only the Auditor piece.  It is best to study the guide (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) prior to launching out on this endeavor.
    Thanks,
    John

  • How can I tell what table(s) have the most transactions against them

    Hello, in Oracle 11.2.0.3, RHEL 6 x86-64, how can I tell what tables have the highest transaction activity?
    Picked "Objects" because I could not find a space related to performance tuning
    Humbly,

    What version of Oracle are you running (standard or enterprise)?
    Easist system is to run an AWR or statspack report. If you run either of these you will see sections on segments (so segments by logical reads, physical reads) which is easily digestible.
    v$segment_statistics will also give you a breakdown on segment access.

    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.

  • How can I tell what the iTunes build is before I download?

    I am having difficulty finding out what the iTunes build is for the current download from the Apple site. I am running iTunes 7.6 (29); I assume the "29" is the build for my installed version. I also assume that Software Update will ignore build changes unless the version changes.
    I do not want to download and install the current iTunes build unless it is different from my currently installled app. How can you tell what the specific version and build are from the Apple download site?
    Thanks!

    Under General Settings, you have the option to view usage. How can I tell what app is using that "usage"? It is not data, just time active.

    Go to the AppleStore and download BatteryDoctor.
    This will help you to see which apps take a lott of your battery level.

    HHow can you tell what GB is in an iPhone 6 ....I'm buying second hand

    the most reliable way is to go on the phone and tap
    Settings/General/About - that will tell you the capacity (among other things)
    but remember the actual space wont be what Apple advertises - my 128 GB iPhone 6 + says it has 114 gb of space - there is formatting and the operating system to take into account
    the size is also printed on the back of the original box but unless you have the phone and get get the serial number off the phone (which is in that same location) you cant be sure the box is from the phone you are trying to buy
