<a name="discover-hardware"><h1>Discover your hardware</h1></a>
<div>
(Thanks <a href="<?php echo $this->baseUrl;?>/issues/view/en/3/1/token">lluvia</a>)
</div>
<p>In order to know the details of your hardware you can carry out the following actions:</p>
<h3>How to discover the model name of your notebook</h3>
<p>See below your notebook or netbook</p>
<!--<h3>How to discover the year of commercialization of your notebook</h3>
<p>Open a terminal and type the following command:</p>
<pre>
sudo dmidecode| grep "Release Date"
</pre>-->
<h3>How to discover the kernel libre version you are using</h3>
<p>Open a terminal and type the following command:</p>
<pre>
uname -r
</pre>
<h3>How to discover the name of your video card</h3>
<p>Open a terminal and type the following command:</p>
<pre>
sudo lspci
</pre>
<p>Then look for the row containing the string <b>VGA</b> or <b>Display controller</b>. You can also try one of the following commands:</p>
<pre>
lspci | grep "Display controller"
</pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre>
lspci | grep "VGA"
</pre>
<a name="vendoridproductid"><h3>How to discover the VendorID and the ProductID of your device (VendorID:ProductID code)</h3>
<div>
(Thanks <a href="http://trisquel.info/en/forum/h-nodecom-new-website-hardware-database#comment-5839">Michał Masłowski</a> and <a href="http://trisquel.info/en/forum/h-nodecom-new-website-hardware-database#comment-5837">Julius22</a>)
</div>
<h4>If the device is integrated (example: a video card)</h4>
<p>Open a terminal and type the following command:</p>
<pre>
sudo lspci -nnk
</pre>
<p>You should obtain a list of hardware similar to the one written below</p>
<pre>
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN [<b>14e4:4311</b>] (rev 02)
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] [<b>10de:0427</b>] (rev a1)
Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb
</pre>
<p>The strings in <b>bold</b> and placed inside the square brackets (in the above list) are the code you are looking for. The first set of digits (before the colon) are the <b>VendorID</b>, the second set of digits are the <b>ProductID</b>. In the above example: the VendorID:ProductID code of the wifi card (note the strings "Network controller" and "WLAN") is <b>14e4:4311</b> while the VendorID:ProductID code of the video card (note the string "VGA") is <b>10de:0427</b></p>
<h4>If the device is an USB device (example: an external USB wifi card)</h4>
<p>Open a terminal and type the following command:</p>
<pre>
sudo lsusb
</pre>
<p>You should obtain a list of hardware similar to the one written below</p>
<pre>
Bus 001 Device 002: ID <b>0846:4260</b> NetGear, Inc. WG111v3 54 Mbps Wireless [realtek RTL8187B]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID <b>1d6b:0002</b> Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID <b>08ff:2580</b> AuthenTec, Inc. AES2501 Fingerprint Sensor
</pre>
<p>The strings in <b>bold</b> (in the above list) are the code you are looking for. The first set of digits (before the colon) are the <b>VendorID</b>, the second set of digits are the <b>ProductID</b>. In the above example: the VendorID:ProductID code of the external USB wifi card (note the strings "Wireless") is <b>0846:4260</b></p>
<h3>How to discover if the video card works</h3>
<p>Install <a href="http://rss-glx.sourceforge.net/">rss-glx</a> by means of the package manager of your distribution or compiling it from source and try some screensavers (for example <b>Skyrocket</b> or <b>Solarwinds</b>). Check if you can play the screensaver (and/or if you can play it smoothly)</p>
<h3>How to discover if the 3D acceleration works</h3>
<p>Try to enable compiz</p>
<h3>How to discover the name of your wifi card</h3>
<p>Open a terminal and type the following command:</p>
<pre>
sudo lspci
</pre>
<p>Then look for the row containing the string <b>Wireless</b> or <b>Network controller</b>. You can also try one of the following commands:</p>
<pre>
lspci | grep "Wireless"
</pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre>
lspci | grep "Network"
</pre>
<h3>How to discover the printer driver you are using</h3>
<h4>If you are using cups</h4>
<p>Open a terminal and type the following command:</p>
<pre>
dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' cups
