Command to show video driver info ?

[strikelit]

I have a linux suse 9 workstation. Is there a command to check the video driver info ?

 

[yai]

lspci -v
also, check /sys/devices ...

Sneak a peek at /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Depends on your adapter and whether the driver is xorg included or something like a binary driver/interface from ATI or NVIDIA. In the latter case check lsmod for installed kernel support.

[green]lsmod[/green] will list all the currently loaded kernel level drivers. That said, video is typically handled by the X Windows system. The driver currently in use by X will be in one of:
/etc/X11/zorg.conf, /etc/X11/XFree86.conf or /etc/X11/XFree86-4.conf

The line will be in a Device section, look for the line driver in the proper device section. Mouse, Keyboard and some other devices may also be listed.

As I said: If you have a binary interface for the kernel the 'driver', that is the kernel level software interface for your hardware with the operating system, will be viewable via the output of lsmod. Otherwise the 'driver' is simply a userspace
'module' specific to the X server in use.

I left the browser sit, your message wasn't posted when I posted, else I wouldn't have bothered posting.
