Does anyone know what graphics that a Dell OptiPlex GX280 has? The 
system service tag is 2TCCZ61, if anyone knows how to get a hardware 
spec sheet from that i would be most grateful. The graphics are 
provided by an expansion card that came installed in the machine by 
Dell (i didn't see any obvious manufacturer names on the card). I'm 
trying to get Debian set up on this machine but don't know which X 
video driver to use. Knoppix 3.9 uses "vesa"; but i'm sure this machine 
can do better than that. Any ideas on how to find out what this thing 
uses?
