vga-detect

   ... Automatically detects ATI or nVidia video cards, activates
       the appropriate driver modules, and loads the proprietary
       drivers.  In order to use this cheatcode, you need to have the 
       appropriate graphics driver module (nVidia or ati-fglrx) 
       stored in your /porteus/optional/ directory.  linuxrc will be
       looking for xzm's named 'nVidia-*' or 'ati-fglrx-*', so make
       sure the module names include this spelling, especially if 
       you are using drivers that did not come from the Porteus 
       repo.

       This allows users to easily switch back and forth between 
       different hardware configurations while using the proprietary 
       drivers.

       Note that this cheatcode may not perform as expected if you
       have a dual-graphics card setup. Also, older nVidia GPU's may
       be not supported by the latest nVidia driver.

Automatically detects ATI or nVidia video cards and loads the proprietary drivers at startup.  You must have a module containing the appropriate graphics driver (nVidia or ati-fglrx) stored in your /porteus/optional/ directory.  These modules are available in the download section of the Porteus website (www.porteus.org/download) for each edition and version of Porteus.  If you compile your own driver, please note that the module's name must include the string 'nVidia-' or 'ati-fglrx-' because the startup script (linuxrc) searches for the driver modules by name.

This cheatcode allows users to easily switch back and forth bewteen different hardware configurations while using the proprietary drivers because both driver modules can sit side by side in /porteus/optional/ without interfering with one another.  They are only activated when needed.

Note that this cheatcode may not perform as expected if you have a dual-graphics card setup.  Also, older nVidia GPU's may not be supported by the latest nVidia driver.
