I just learned this command. So I tried this (on a working machine):
So my question is: Does this command need the right driver installed to display the correct information about a piece of hardware; or will this work correctly without the right driver installed, and thus I can use this command to help me (faster) narrow down what I need to try.
Man page says this "The PCI vendor/device information database is normally read from /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors." which tells me I don't need the driver, but just wanted to make sure.
Code:
$ pciconf -vl | grep -3 display
vgapci0@pci0:0:13:0: class=0x030000 card=0x26011019 chip=0x03d110de rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'C61 [GeForce 6100 nForce 405]'
class = display
subclass = VGASo my question is: Does this command need the right driver installed to display the correct information about a piece of hardware; or will this work correctly without the right driver installed, and thus I can use this command to help me (faster) narrow down what I need to try.
