what video card do I have?

I've been trying to install Mandriva 2007 and the login screen
have been showing up blank.
The Mandrivausers folks have been asking what kind of video card I
have. I don't know the card offhand. Is there a way to get the info
from the computer. I know I can log in as root using the "failsafe"
mode, thus I can get a command line starting at /. From there, how
can I tell what video card I am using?

lspci should be able to help you with that. It usually can show you quite some nice details about your hardware.
Thank for the tip.
After giving the video card info, I was pointed to change inittab.
And was able to log in.
