HP-UX videocard/graphics information

[Grigori]

Hi all,

can anyone help me to obtain my 11.00 videocard/graphics information _without_ using "graphinfo"?

Thanks in advance,
Grigori.

Thanks, Paul,

this helps a bit, but...

'ioscan -C graphics' on my system writes

H/W Path Class Description
==========================================
8/24 graphics Graphics


while 'graphinfo' output is much more detailed:

...
graphics product: HP VISUALIZE-EG Color
...

Can I get somehow information that is similar to 'graphinfo' output?

Thanks in advance,
Grigori.

Hello!

You can use SAM and check there graphics

Well, thanks for the answers, but
1) I don't have 'stm' on my machine (and I can't assume it will be present).
2) Can I use SAM non-interactively to obtain information?

STM is the online diagnostics and should always be loaded if for no other reason that cstm is the best command line method to obtain detailed hardware information. Since the diagnostics are updated quite often for all the new hardware, they are stored on your SupportPus CDROM (or you can download the diagnostics from the ITRC at http://www.software.hp.com/SUPPORT_PLUS/ Select Diagnostics and you can download a free depot.

No, there is no SAM command line method to obtain the information. You can run SAM, display the video information and then examine the SAM logfile to see how it was done. WARNING: most SAM methods can change from rev to rev or even after a patch is installed. Many SAM commands come from the undocumented /usr/lbin directory for 'backend' commands.
