There're some of AMD's fglrx driver will show "VESA VBE OEM Product: XXXXX" string in /var/log/Xorg.0.log so this "VESA:XXXXX" string instead of the more accurate string from glxinfo will being shown in the panel. Use glxinfo's information (when available) first is more accurate. A proposed patch is attached.
