24.5. Viewing Hardware Information

24.5.1. Using the lspci Command

The lspci command allows you to display information about PCI buses and devices that are attached to them. To list all PCI devices that are in the system, type the following at a shell prompt:
lspci
This displays a simple list of devices, for example:
~]$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express DRAM Controller
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express Host-Primary PCI Express Bridge
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02)
00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 02)
00:1a.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 (rev 02)

You can also use the -v command-line option to display more verbose output, or -vv for very verbose output:
lspci -v|-vv
For instance, to determine the manufacturer, model, and memory size of a system's video card, type:
~]$ lspci -v
