no hwbrowser for Fedora 12 live-cd
I created a Fedora 12 live-usb. Works great. Want to use it to discover hardware compatibility on PC's that are candidate for Linux. I tried to "yum install hwbrowser" while in a live-usb session and I get a message that hwbrowser can't be found. What gives? Is hwbrowser no longer available?
On another machine I ran hwbrowser and found that the answer on the video driver from hwbrowser is different than from the command line. hwbrowser yields >>>> driver: i915 the answer I received from the command line interface >>>>> grep Chipset /var/log/Xorg.0.log >>>>> driver: i810 Why the discrepancy? |
You should be able to install hwbrowser via rpm search.
Not sure why the difference. |
use lshw:
Code:
# lshw -html > pc_hardware_specs.html to view the PCI info for the VGA card: Code:
$ lspci |
