How hard would it actually be for Microsoft to implement a feature in Windows Device Manager where you could see what the “Unknown VGA device” actually is, or at least claims to be?
As it stands, the only thing I can do is reboot into a Linux install CD, just to run lspci. Then I can reboot back into Windows and actually know which driver I need to download. Which seems a bit silly, really…
I was away and offline all weekend, gone to spend a few days in Derby, a town which was once home.
As you can see, we had a pretty good view at the gig – we went to the Supanova club to see The Bluetones, supported by Emma Rohan and The Daybreak.
The support bands were surprisingly good, but I felt a little sorry for the main act, excellent as they were. It must be a galling experience to sing your heart out to your latest and greatest material, to be met only with weak applause and shouts for the radio-friendly single you released a decade ago.
Still, a tight performance and some amusing banter from singer Mark Morriss made for an enjoyable (if deafening) evening.
