I know two different ways. One is the command "lspci", which shows all hardware built in. You can make a "lspci -v", which shows you more information. Second way is the command "hwinfo" There is also the application "kudzu", which is not part of debian, but of Redhat. > Question 2 ) How to install proprietary drivers in order to make a system > work. > > My system temperature increase and it shutdown automatically. I guess this > is due to FGLRX is not installed. I do not know, which the state is at the moment. I never got fglrx running in debian. ATI graphic cards sux! However, there is a fglrx-package available in debian. Search in aptitude for "fglrx". You need to built the kernel-modules. Module-assistant will be the correct way. You will need to install kernel- headers and some sources. Module-assistant will do that for you. I recommend module-assistant as the first choice. Good luck!
