- How to check what kind of the graphics card installed in Solaris
- Posted by JC on July 10th, 2003
Can anyone tell me how to verify what kind of the graphics card is
installed in my Solaris machine: a Creator 3D graphics card or PGX ?
Thanks,
JC

ls -l /dev/fb*
Creator 3D devices will have a 'ffb' in their name, PGX 8/24/64 will
have a 'm64' in their name, PGX 32 will have a 'gfx' in their name.
(There's also the physical inspection method - Creator 3D only go into
UPA slots, PGX only go into PCI slots or are built onto the
motherboard.)
