Probably should also say it Kubuntu 8.04/KDE 3.5.9

It's an ATI Radeon video card using the ATI drivers. Near as I can 
figure it out Kaffeine is set to use the default driver/card under 
xengine parameters. It's the built in video "card" on the mother board.

Is there a CLI command that will give me the exact card?

It seems that I used to use the fglrx drivers on this computer, but 
can't guarantee that. That is an option in System settings. The other 
options listed are fbdev, 8500, and vesa
