As the new owner of a used but very clean FleaBay X230 (I had an ad in the marketplace here for ages), I am doing a runthrough to confirm the advertised components are present in this machine. I just noticed that the seller removed the Model/Serial sticker from the bottom of the machine and, curiously, covered up the same information underneath the battery with a piece of black tape (2306-CTO R9-W0V6L). Suspiciousness aside, all specs check out, though I don't know how to check the display type on Ubuntu (it's supposed to be an IPS). I saw this program:

suggested elsewhere, but I'm running linux. Is there a terminal command to see the FRU/serial/panel type of my display?
Any and all help greatly appreciated,

Re: X230 Honesty Check
Tilt the screen back and if you have color inversion you have a TN panel. If the image is viewable instead then you have an IPS panel.
Here is a short video showing the difference. https://youtu.be/p8MO-XaCZ_8

Install get-edid and parse-edid. Then execute the command:
get-edid | parse-edid
See http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/luc ... did.1.html for more information.
