hwdetect

[dedanna1029]

If you're having issues with hardware loading or not loading, all kinds of troubleshooting can be done with this neat little scriptie, hwdetect. It's in the Arch repos. I found it tonight, when researching why my sound card isn't loading on boot at the Arch wiki.

Code: Select all

# pacman -S hwdetect

Let 'er rip to install.

Then, to see all hardware modules that are loaded:

Code: Select all

# hwdetect --show-modules
