Graphics Card in Solaris 8?

sknoxy · 10-07-2003, 08:55 AM

In solaris 8, is there a quick command line or GUI that tells me the exact make of the graphics card within a machine?

Thanks for any help.

I can't remember if you can view them with cat /proc/pci but I think you can also use the command: show-devs

That's if your card is a PCI device, etc.

Also forgot to mention, I think the show-devs can only be used at the OpenBoot to test or check for newly installed devices, etc.

on x86:
- kdmconfig (easiest)

x86 & sparc:
- prtdiag -v (look for fields aroudn the term "display")
- prtconf -vp (look for fields around the term "display")
- prtconf -F (prints path to your card)

extra info for sparc:
- prtconf -vD (search for part of card name you got from above,
then see it's driver name)
- man <driver name>
- fbconfig
