From that point, you can scroll or page forward to see how many graphics cards lspci found.ДЇor this article, we conducted our research on a variety of Linux distributions running in VirtualBox virtual machines. LessВ searches for the string, вЂњVGA,вЂќ and it shows you the first matches it finds. If you press the forward-slash ( /), you activate the less search function. We type our command as follows: sudo lspci -v | less WeвЂ™ll use sudoВ to ensure the information is as detailed as possible. The -v (verbose) option tells lscpi to give us as much information as it can.

ThereвЂ™ll be a lot of output, so weвЂ™ll pipe it into less. The latest database version is retrieved for us, and we can now use the lspci command. Type the update-pciids command to do just that: sudo update-pciids

It checks a local copy of the PCI database to identify the PCI devices it detects.В Before we start, itвЂ™s wise to update the local copy of the PCI database. WouldnвЂ™t it be great if we could tie theВ PCI database and the lspci command together? Well, actually, thatвЂ™s exactly what happens when you run the lspci command. You can use the lspci command to list the PCI devices installed on a Linux computer, as well as some information about them.

This means if you know some information about the device, you can look it up. The PCI ID Repository maintains a database of all known IDs for PCI devices. The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) standard is a common protocol you can use to talk to internal peripherals, such as graphics cards. It doesnвЂ™t matter! YouВ can solve this conundrum either from the command line or through the graphical user interface (GUI).

LetвЂ™s assume the worst-case scenario and say the drivers for the graphics card were never installed, so you canвЂ™t even look at those to get a clue. So how do you identify the graphics card in a Linux computer? To support something, you need to know what it is. The deer-in-headlights expression you receive in response speaks volumes. Hey, this might not be so bad after all! But then your short-lived flicker of hope is snuffed when you ask, вЂњWhat kind of graphics card do you have?вЂќ

Still, you pitch in! You quickly determine the issue is likely a display driver issue. YouвЂ™re drafted to provide support for a nontechie relative or work colleague, and something tells you this isnвЂ™t going to be painless.

These is currently a PCI quirk in the kernel to ignore VPD for Broadcom 570x NICs and adding another for the LSI cards is a possibility but patches have been created for kernel 4.6.rc2 which improve the handling of the VPD.ДЄ simple patch to ignore the VPD for LSI megaraid cards but which was never commited appears at the end of The reason for using lspci was to determine why the megasas driver was not working and it has been mentioned in the communications about this problem that it may mean that the card driver fails to start. This is fine for almost all devices even if they actually have less data than this but some, namely the LSI megaraid cards, will become unresponsive if data is read past their own maximum size causing the hang.

It seems that the PCI specification allows for up to 32K bytes of data and the Linux kernel reads the full 32K on the first read. The -vv option for lspci as root displays the capabilities for the PCI devices including the Vital Product Data (VPD) using the kernel functions for PCI configuration data accessing. The only course of action is to switch off power as it is completely non-responsive. Using the -vv (or -vvv) option to lspci if logged in as root when a LSI SAS9240-4i megaraid card is installed will cause the PC to hang.
