I'm very new, installed SUSE Open a couple of weeks ago and am slowly getting things straightened out, I REALLY like it better than windows xp, which I no longer have on my system !
However the one thing that is really bugging me is not being able to see what is what on my computer.
I want to know what Graphics card is installed and what drivers it is using.
When I built the computer I installed a e-G-Forse 6600GT graphics card.
However I don't know what drivers it is using, I'm not experiencing any problems. However if things could be better if I was using the new nvidia drivers which are available for this card than I would like to install them.

Is there some software that will give me a "snap shot" of my hardware and what drivers it is using?? In other words a system configuration shot, not just telling me I have the above mentioned Graphics card installed (I know that), but the what, where, and when of the drivers?
Thanks guys, LK

You can see a list of your hardware by typing in the shell:
Too see what usb devices you have plugged in type:
Too see which driver your graphics card is using type:
Just scroll up and see, also check if Direct Rendering is enabled!!!
As you are using a standard build kernel made by the installation there's alot of unneedd modules (drivers) loaded and offcourse somethings are built-in the kernel so you can't see those. Anyway too see the loaded modules type:
For more oommands just browse google, it's helpfull and helped me in the beginning!

look at some of the files in the /proc folder also, like cpuinfo and meminfo

Yes as anarchy says, but you have to look at this using the command: cat.

So like this:
same for meminfo

The above mentioned items can be viewed together in Yast --> Hardware --> Hardware Information.

puntjuh- I couldn't understand anything I was looking at in those commands.

AAnarchYY- I wanted information on the graphics card, not the CPU.


colucix - This showed me the information about everything in a more friendly way, meaning I could somewhat understand things. It appears I do not have the Linux drivers because there was on mention whatsoever under the graphics card. Thank you for the information.

If you click the My Computer icon on the Desktop, there should be some information about the graphic card in the bottom right corner. What does it report? Mine is
vendor: nVidia Corporation
model: GeForce go 7600
driver: nvidia (3D support)
but I had to manually install the driver from nVidia.

lspci

should give you the name of your graphic adapter,

On RH7 there is 'System Tools->'Hardware Browser' should be something similar on SuSe
