gfxinfo

/usr/gfx/gfxinfo will report the current video format, along with other information about the graphics hardware.

For example, on an O2:

	reeves% gfxinfo
	Graphics board 0 is "CRM" graphics.
	        Managed (":0.0") 1280x1024 
	        32 bitplanes
	        board revision 2, CRM revision C, GBE revision B
	        Display 1280x1024 @ 75Hz, monitor type: SGX 4096
On an IR:
	cray% gfxinfo
