Hello guys Some time ago I was discussing with Vignatti and Ander the possibility of writing a small app that does dlopen() on the video drivers and prints the supported devices. Even if that doesn't seem much useful, I decided it would be a fun "programming exercise" that would teach me something about video drivers. So, in case anyone is interested, here it is:
http://gitorious.org/xdriverprobe There are two main purposes for this program: - to check if any of the devices present in your machine are supported by the Xorg video drivers - to print a list of PCI ids supported by each Xorg video driver You can tell it to look for a specific driver and you can also pass a different place to look for the video drivers. Main use cases: "xdriverprobe": prints the names of the drivers that support your video cards and the device id and vendor id of the supported devices "xdriverprobe -a": prints a list of supported devices for each video driver "xdriverprobe -h": lists the other options The project was not tested with a wide range of machines/distributions, so there's a big chance that you'll get an "Undefined symbol" when you run it. If you do, please report it to me that I'll try to fix. I tried to add the smallest amount of symbols I could. For more information, please check the README file. If anyone is interested in using this project please tell me, so we can consider keeping it up-to-date. Cheers, Paulo -- Paulo R.
