They aren't scriptable, but often they are faster than getting all the flags just right on a command set. On most machines lspci outputs less than two screen pages of info. lspci is the command to deal with here and it's output is nearly always easy enough to wade through without needing a custom grep/filter set to get what you need. Heck, (nearly?) all AGP video chips show up on PCI:1:0:0, so that's usually the only thing to look for if it's an AGP machine.

That should adequately identify your graphics chipset. Eyeballs aren't scriptable.

Hey – what is the command to have Fedora list back the video card in my laptop? I remember Monty telling me the command once, but it didn't stick in the brain…
