How do I detect and shpw list of all chipset under Linux operating system? How do I see display card chipset under Linux?
A chipset refers to a group of integrated circuits, that are designed to work together. You need to use lspci command to show detected pci devices such as RAID cards, display cards and so on. The syntax is:
lspci lspci | less lspci -vv | less lspci | grep -i --color vga lspci -v | grep -i --color vga
Sample outputs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [Quadro FX 3800M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
You can also use lshw command as follows:
lshw
lshw | less
lshw -businfo
Sample outputs:
