2.Display the contents of /dev/gvid_info by executing the following command: cat /dev/gvid_info

The following output should appear. There should be one line (i.e. one device file) for every graphics device in the systems bus:

/dev/gvid0

/dev/gvid1

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

/opt/graphics/common/bin/setmon -N /dev/gvid0

If the device is the HP PCI AMD Radeon 7000 Graphics Adapter card, the output should look like:

Device /dev/gvid0 is a ATI Radeon 7000 Graphics Adapter

You will also see this output for various integrated and manageability card displays.
