Verifying the Graphics Card Installation for Linux
To verify the graphics card is installed and seen correctly by Linux do the following steps.
From a Linux root prompt enter:
# /sbin/lspci | grep VGA
Check the output for information similar to the following:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G80 [Quadro FX xxx] (rev xx)
08:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ES1000 (rev 02)
01:00.0 is the primary card for the system.
08:01.0 is the onboard graphics board (disabled when the primary card is connected)
Note: If the specific card for 01:00.0 is not recognized the pcids on the operating
system may have to be updated. This occurs if the OS is reinstalled or a newer card from
NVIDIA is installed in the system.
