Tools finding hardware settings

Is there a unix command to find out what type of graphics card you have installed and to see other hardware settings? Any help would be appreciated. I'm using Solaris 7. Smilie
Thanks,
NH

actually to take this a bit further... is there a way to see the capacity of the HD, (other than the cryptic DF) and the speed of your CDRom drive?

To check the capacity of your hard drive, not encrypted use:

df -k (for Solaris)

bdf (for HPUX

Also, to check your hardware you can try:

sysdef - display system definition

modinfo - display information about loaded kernel modules

prtconf |grep "Memory size" - to check your memory

ioscan - scan I/O system (HPUX)

psrinfo |wc -l - Display number of processors

sar - system activity reporter

sar -u - CPU utilisation or use

top - display and update information about the top processes on the system


I hope these commands help.

what about system cache? anyway to check that out... through command or otherwise?

i wanna make sure the guy who sold me my system actually sold me one that has 2mb instead of 256k or 512k.

Try the commands above, you can grep for cache in some of them.
Or graphically use proccess management.

Cheers
