Yes, any information from hal-device can be the solution for detect the products affects. This is mine:
$ hal-find-by-property --key info.linux.driver --string 'nvidia' /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_426 sh...@vaio:~$ hal-device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_426 udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_426' pci.device_protocol = 0 (0x0) (int) info.linux.driver = 'nvidia' (string) pci.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0' (string) info.vendor = 'nVidia Corporation' (string) info.subsystem = 'pci' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_2a01' (string) pci.product = 'G86M [GeForce 8400M GT]' (string) info.product = 'G86M [GeForce 8400M GT]' (string) pci.linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0' (string) pci.subsys_vendor = 'Sony Corporation' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_426' (string) pci.product_id = 1062 (0x426) (int) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) pci.vendor_id = 4318 (0x10de) (int) linux.subsystem = 'pci' (string) pci.subsys_product_id = 36869 (0x9005) (int) pci.subsys_vendor_id = 4173 (0x104d) (int) pci.device_class = 3 (0x3) (int) pci.device_subclass = 0 (0x0) (int) Yes, maybe is posible collecting this information, I don't know how hal works, for this reason I only propose ideas. I say to you if nvidia8, nvidia9 and quadro are different, because I don't know if nvidia8 works for the three. If you say that yes, no problem. -- No Screen Backlight Control; Notebooks (Vaio, Macbook, HP/Compaq, Samsung, Zepto et al.) with Nvidia Geforce8/Geforce9/Quadro series graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
