I get
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
Adaptor #0: "NV Video Overlay"
number of ports: 1
port base: 53
operations supported: PutImage
supported visuals:
depth 24, visualID 0x21
depth 24, visualID 0x22
number of attributes: 9
...
with
vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0: Nvidia Corporation product 0x0321 (rev. 0xa1)
(suggested addition to /sys/dev/pci/pciidevs:
product NVIDIA GEFORCE_FX5200U 0x0321 GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
although it "Creative Blaster5" written on the box here and there)
Does that mean Nvidia let some secrets escape?
Cheers,
