Driver information, you'll need the model number. If you've got a
manual, the front cover of that is the most obvious place to start.
Otherwise, The back of the monitor usually has a sticker with the
manufacturer, Serial Number, Model Number, etc on it.

Once you have the model number, you can track down the driver for it.

Typically, when it comes to monitors, you can usually just use the
generic monitor driver with Windows, or if using Linux under X, choose
a usage mode you know works on that monitor (find the model number
and it should be easy to find the other details on that monitor using
search tools like google).
