If/When all else fails, I find the exact version of the chip(s) in the video hardware. I then go read the comments on the various related video device drivers in the kernel codes, as the best place to see exactly what is going on with a given chipset. The past few years have seen many of the video codes merged into larger collections in a single, unified driver, so you may have to go back to kernels that correspond to when the linux driver code first (or soon after) appeared for that chipset...... It's a massive pain the in the wazoo, but, you'd be surprised at what details often appear in the (legacy) kernel dirver code comments...... good hunting! James
