ATI RADEON 7500 PCI Graphics Controller Installation Guide

Verification of Hardware Installation

After the ATI RADEON 7500 graphics controller has been installed and the system has rebooted, verify the graphics card was correctly installed and identify which device file corresponds to which card.

1.Run the command

ioscan –fun –C graphics

Output similar to the following should appear. There should be one line for every graphics device in the system. Each device should have gvid_core for a driver and the S/W State should be CLAIMED.

Class	I H/W Path		Driver	S/W State	H/W Type	Description

graphics	0	0/3/1/0	gvid_core	CLAIMED	INTERACE	PCI Display
(10025157)
graphics	1	0/6/2/0	gvid_core	CLAIMED	INTERACE	PCI Display
(10025159)

2.Display the contents of /dev/gvid_info by running the command cat /dev/gvid_info

Output similar to the following should appear. There should be one line (i.e. one device file) for every graphics device in the system.

/dev/gvid0

/dev/gvid1

3.Determine the association of physical graphics cards to special device files (/dev/gvid?) by running the command

Setmon –N / dev / gvid0

The output should look something like

Device / dev / gvid0 is a ATI Radeon 7000

Ii the device is the Manageability card or

Device / dev / gvid0 is a ATI Radeon 7500 QW if the device is the ATI RADEON 7500 graphics card.
