I’m using Ubuntu now for many years, but I always have to look the commands for retrieving hardware information up. Now I will not Google any longer but search in my own little cheat sheet.
I guess most commands will work in every Linux distribution, but I tried it only in Ubuntu 10.04LTS.
Maybe you need to install some packages.
If you know more commands, please post a comment!

The packages ddcprobe or xresprobe will help.
