Example 1: My headless Intel INS1020 (w/o a graphics card of any kind)<br>
returns nothing. :)<br>
<br>
Example 2: One of the minimal LRP-based routers I have still in<br>
production returns an error (no sudo command, no lspci command), but<br>
that's kind of cheating.<br>
<br>
I suspect non-pci graphics cards (ie: ISA/EISA) would also not show up<br>
in lspci output, but that might also be considered cheating, and I have<br>
no easy way to test this (the minimal systems I currently have assembled<br>
and ready access to wouldn't be able to boot and run anything that<br>
includes lspci).<br>
<br>
Interestingly, the minimal flash-based debian fanless firewall install I<br>
showed at the recent KULUA *DOES* properly list the VGA card (AMD Geode<br>
LX Video), at least if I rip off the sudo part (sudo isn't installed)<br>
and just run lspci -v | grep VGA as root. :)<br>
