Need graphics card info

[Rohinton Daruwala_1]

Hi
I need to know which command I can use to get graphics card (video controller) information on HP-UX programatically.
graphinfo doesn't seem to be available on my machine.
Could someone help me out please
Thanks

Hi Rohinton,

graphinfo is in /usr/bin.
But only if the SW (GraphicsCommon, GraphicsSBaseDK, etc) is installed.
Also should be noted that server-wise only L, K, D and some other older servers support graphics. N-class & up do not support graphics.
Of course, all workstation class systems support graphics.

Rgds,
Jeff

If graphinfo doesn't exist then try installing the graphics and technical computing bundle : see http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B6268AA

or are you saying graphinfo output is not suitable ?

Hi
Thanks for the replies but I needed some way to extract graphics card information without installing anything new. So is there some alternative command/api I can use to get that kind of information.

Thanks

OK, what kind os system are you dealing with here?
As stated /usr/bin/graphinfo would be the command.

On HP-UX, I have always been able to use 'graphinfo' to collect video hardware data.

Example:
# graphinfo | grep -i visualize
