That creates the /sys directory where all the advanced data lives, including the EDID file that inxi reads. Without the drm directory, you also don't get the ports report, since that lives in the same place.

I am a bit confused. The /sys directory is always present regardless of nvidia-modeset. Were is this data extracted from?

These directories exist regardless of nvidia-drm.modeset.

Code:

~# find /sys/ -name drm
/sys/class/drm
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/0000:02:00.0/drm
/sys/module/i2c_core/holders/drm
/sys/module/agpgart/holders/drm
/sys/module/drm

You are of course correct the nvidia-drm-modeset was not set and it does make a difference.

Another FYI: -a == -a + -xxx so -a overrides -xx. The extra data options apply globally to all switches when used.

Good to know.

This handles the issue of free / /proc/meminfo reporting MemTotal as total memory, when it's actually the total MINUS reserved and kernel code, which I had not been aware of. I realized this while documenting internal inxi size/speed handlers, and finally realized RAM actual was not matching Memory total. Also I believe video ram can be subtracted in some cases, definitely for raspberry pi, maybe for standard gpu that doesn't use it's own ram.

Code:

~# inxi -I
Memory: 7.77 GiB used: 2.31 GiB (29.8%)

~# ./pinxi -I --vs
pinxi 3.3.27-01 (2023-05-07)

~# inxi -m

~# ./pinxi -m
Memory: System RAM: available: 7.77 GiB used: 2.32 GiB (29.9%)

~# dmesg

I've crammed a ton of fixes into this inxi, too many to be safe, so I should release, it's getting hard to keep the various docs, help, man, and code, in sync.

Time to take a break?

Now I can, just submitted the TinyCore inxi 3.3.27 package, which is the last step of release. TinyCore remains a marvel of tiny-ness, well worth checking out if you never have. Unless of course you view their current TC 14.0 iso size of 26 MiB, including full graphical window manager environment, as far too bloated. I always feel somewhat silly ripping the iso to my smallest active USB stick, actually an SD card, 1 GB.

I noted in particular the fact that as I had hoped, the memory fix makes system GPU assigned RAM much more obvious. That's highlighted below, now the available field name makes it far more clear why the RAM memory report does not match the installed RAM physical sizes. In this case it might be a combination of TinyCore in RAM and graphics device RAM, not sure, but I know I like the new syntax because it makes it more clear.
