Bug Description
Open the system setting-
The "VESA:XXXX" string displayed in "System Settings-
gnome-control-
(1) parse /var/log/Xorg.0.log and find "VESA VBE OEM Product:" String
(2) if (1) is not found, parse the result of "glxinfo -l" and find "OpenGL renderer string", and use this info as the string being shown.
There're some of AMD's fglrx driver will show "VESA VBE OEM Product: XXXXX" string in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
so this "VESA:XXXXX" string instead of the more accurate string from glxinfo will being shown in the panel.
Use glxinfo's information (when available) first is more accurate.
A proposed patch is attached.
