graphicscard and monitor used by knoppix(how can i find out)
I wanted to find out, which graphics-card to choose for the x-server to use with.
When I start Knoppix with my computer it recognizes everything I think because I can start KDE and so on.
How can I find out, which graphicscard and monitor was choosen and is used by knoppix? I watched the XF86config-4 but couldn't find it.
Thank you for your help.

Try lsmod on konsole. It will display or modules installed, including your display adapter.
Other option is to try this command:
cat /proc/pci
To check what driver loaded/detected by knoppix:
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
read while it loads, you will see what hardware it detects.
or you can press ctrl+alt+F1 to see the verbose mode of what has been detected when booting, same as above. Remember to press ctrl+alt+F7 to return back to KDE.

Of course you could always just read /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

Yes, meanwhile I figured that out. And I just copied the XF86Config-4 and XF86Config to the /etc/X11 directory of the computer from which I didn't know the graphicscard. And it worked.
After that I watched the content of the files and know I'm a bit into it.
But I still don't know the difference between those two files (XF86Config and XF86Config-4). Can you tell me? Are they both necessary?
Thanks
