A little script like this, can extrat the first info that you say me.

mkdir nvidia-info
cd nvidia-info
hal-device $(hal-find-by-property --key info.linux.driver --string 'nvidia')
| grep pci.product >> nvidia-info.txt
hal-device $(hal-find-by-property --key info.linux.driver --string 'nvidia')
| grep pci.vendor_id >> nvidia-info.txt
hal-device $(hal-find-by-property --key info.linux.driver --string 'nvidia')
| grep pci.subsys_vendor_id >> nvidia-info.txt
cp $HOME/.nvclock/bios*.rom .
cd ..
zip nvidia-info.zip nvidia-info

The second info I don't know where I can found it and how consult it
correctly, any idea?
