Gnome Performance and Video Driver

["John J. Boyer" <director chpi org>]

I'm wondering if the video driver could affect the performance of Gnome 
and Gnopernicus. When sometone types fast in gedit, there is a perceptible 
lag before the characters appear on the screen, and when I use the arrow 
keys there is a lag before the next item appearws on my braille display. 
I'm not sure what my video card is. Is there a command that will display 
its manufacturer and model? The driver was installed when I installed 
Redhat 8.0. I've heard on the garnome list that the video driver can lock 
up the computer. I've had the same problem a couple of times. 

Thanks,
John
