hwinfo
pulls ids from various public sources and has a script for updating them: https://github.com/openSUSE/hwinfo/tree/master/src/ids
It looks like usb
and pci
ids were last updated in 2021. After running the update script I could see my graphics card listed.
I have created a PR upstream: https://github.com/openSUSE/hwinfo/pull/144 and will testing with my fork https://github.com/brianmcgee/hwinfo
@Mic92 see above
It appears when I introduced the --hardware-features
flag to reduce the default list of things that hwinfo
probes, I introduced a bug with how we resolve model names and so on. If you run nixos-facter -f all -o report.json
you will see that we resolve model names and other lookups fine. But with the default probe list nixos-facter -o report.json
you start to see a lot of unknown hardware entries in the report.
I'm reviewing how hwinfo
uses the lib
to identify how we should be using it better. For now, running it with -f all
seems to resolve the issue.
@Mic92 this could also explain why you weren't seeing a lot of things with their model names and hardware classes properly resolved
Okay
I think we are currently capturing it, but check how we are. For example I see my own graphics card coming up as a
display
and it's saying "unknown graphics card hardware"
