I've Debian Squeeze installed on my desktop, how do I know if my video card (its driver) is properly installed?

This is part of the lspci command output:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

and this is part of lshw command output:

Run sudo lsmod and review the output. You will probably be using the i915 driver.

  • The output does contain video-14605-1-i915, it means that the driver is properly installed and in use?

  • If you can see on the monitor, I would say yes. Are you getting the resolution options you desire? If so, then definitely, yes.
