James, it appears you have the "good fortune" to be breaking new ground
- this card is relatively unknown. For example, according to [1], there
"is currently not enough adequate information about this model" and
there are known problems getting full benefits from the related card
[2].
As for detecting the card programmatically, there is nothing useful that
I can see in the dmidecode output; lspci output has
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 71d4
(prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: Lenovo Unknown device 20a4
which is not encouraging, as it suggests that more than just adding some
detection code to a script or two: The OS needs to know more about the
card.
Unfortunately, a) this is beyond my ken and b) I'm no longer able to
triage, so there isn't much more I can do. What I do is mark the report
as confirmed, change the description appropriately, and direct it to
what I think will be the right package. Appropriate triagers/QA/devs
will have to take it from there.
