Yep, find out what precise model is physically written on the
graphics card, then you can compare it to what Kubuntu thinks
it is. (Occasionally it's not obvious what the model is amongst
all the numbers. In that case, I just write down every damn
thing written on the card and google different combos
until I find matches.)

To see what Kubuntu thinks it is, use lspci on the command line.

Search  http://ubuntuforums.org/  for other users' experiences
with that card and Kubuntu version.

Viewsonic still has the tech specs available on their website.
That's cool, some other manufacturers' data is harder to find.

1280x1024 @ 66Hz
1024x768 @ 87Hz
800x600 @ 110Hz
640x480 @ 135Hz
