Yes, is this ION or ION2? could you possibly run lspci -n and let us
have the model number? ie my revo (not the same device at all) gives
10de:087e.

You can run lspci on it's own and it will give a line like:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation ION LE VGA (rev b1)

Then when you run lspci -n you need to look at the line that
corresponds to the graphics card (in my case the one that starts
03:00.0, eg:

03:00.0 0300: 10de:087e (rev b1)

Thanks in advance.
