I posted the output of sudo lshw but the message got on hold:

Your mail to 'Lubuntu-users' with the subject

    Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Video Problems - Saucy

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

    Message body is too big: 45437 bytes with a limit of 40 KB

So, I will attach the file.

Let's see if that will go through or not?!


@Phill
The script on that hardware Wiki Page does not show the above details of
"sudo lshw" - http://phillw.net/hardware/BnA9pw11

How can someone adjust it to include that? IMHO, it is importrant to show
the output of "sudo lshw".
