Aren’t pciutils dependent on hardware support though? I have a couple of Asus mobos that have weird mouse movement depending on how slightly angled the GPU is in the slot - I tried to use pciutils to diagnose the issue but the “gamer”-grade Core i7 I have in there wasn’t on support-list because Intel only enables PCIe diags on i9/X and Xeon chips.
...and I know a few DCs that loaded up on cheap low-grade i3/i5 chips for “near-line” computing (slow but cheap and cheerful) so they’d be SoL too.
- lights0123 5y ago...Why would sysfs expose something that your hardware doesn't support while pciutils doesn't?
- DaiPlusPlus 5y agoI assumed sysfs exposes a subset of available information: that pciutils can expose more data given hardware support. I know some of the more basic pciutils ran on my computer, though.
- drewg123 5y agoFWIW, pciutils can use a variety of different access methods. Use lspci -A help to see the different access methods, and then lspci -A $method to use a different access method. Note that one of the access methods on linux is linux-sysfs, so pciutils can use sysfs under the hood.
