Thunderbird can you try if this collect information that you want?

#/bin/bash
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
nvclock -D | grep NV_PDISPLAY_SOR0_REGS_BRIGHTNESS >> nvidia-info.txt
cp $HOME/.nvclock/bios*.rom .
cd ..
zip nvidia-info.zip nvidia-info

But I think that can be better collect to this way:

#/bin/bash
mkdir nvidia-info
cd nvidia-info
hal-device $(hal-find-by-property --key info.linux.driver --string 'nvidia')
>> nvidia-info.txt
nvclock -D >> nvidia-info.txt
cp $HOME/.nvclock/bios*.rom .
cd ..
zip nvidia-info.zip nvidia-info

If people report here information, is better that send all related
information, I know that exist a command line to compare and extract the
most repeated lines and in this case, can be an automated way for found the
coincidences of the different graphics cards affected.
