Intel is famous for their poor quality video drivers for Linux. Just run Wine with notepad and you will have some idea on what I am talking about. Some of the more famous games that were ported to Linux don't work there either. The recommended solution: Get a video card with high quality Linux drivers. Right now nVidia is leading the pack.
OK; but I don't speak hardware.
So I launched my lshw-gui (not knowing a better way). But if it sees any video card, it calls it something else. How do I check what I've got in any given machine?
