My attempt at GPU support

# GPU Detection - End

It will need support for hybrid GPUs and dual GPUs

[Fuuzetsu]

Fails with integrated Intel graphics chip

GPU: No idea, Sorry :(

00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary) (rev 0c)

Protip: it's far easier to get things tested and integrated if you include actual commits with the issue.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

How is it even possible to get that fallback text if you have lspci installed? is it installed to /usr/sbin?
not that that make it better, still badly broken on intel

I know it would have a lot of issues, was hopeing it would be useful foe a starting point

as for making comits i can't even figure out how to update my repo without manually editing the code online via browser, and i have some code that really needs to be pushed to git

[Fuuzetsu]

My lspci resides in /usr/sbin/lspci.

You can learn how to use git from the quite good git-scm book here: http://git-scm.com/book . The first couple of chapters should at least tell you how to push/pull/commit. Here are some GitHub specific instructions: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git .

Edit: changing the checks for glxinfo and lspci to something that doesn't have a hardcoded path, I get

[KittyKatt]

Well, this is even more interesting.

I've been on the fence about GPU detection for quite some time. I've thought about doing it, but never really committed myself to putting it in.

I'll think about it a little harder and use this as a base for my code. Thanks for the contribution.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

@KittyKatt Sorry for going offtopic, and sorry for my crappy code on this one, my cpu edit is much better

@ShanaTsunTsunLove
no idea how this works... it was much easier to just use the downloads page for holding .tar.gz archives...

Also, you can use test instead of using -f in the if statements. Much more reliable than hardcoded paths.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

If you are using proprietary nvidia drivers

~$ echo "NVidia$(nvidia-smi -q | grep -i 'product name' | cut -f 2 -d ':')"
NVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti

[KittyKatt]

Ah, very nice. I mispoke before about test. type -p command is pretty reliable.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

and yet another nvidia method, pretty sure is needs the proprietary nvidia driver
you could loop through all the folders in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/ and get every nvidia gpu's model

~$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0/information
Model:       GeForce GTX 550 Ti
IRQ:         18
GPU UUID:    GPU-cf9334b8-5fdc-293c-11b1-d88c44e3e490
Video BIOS:      70.26.20.00.00
Bus Type:    PCI-E
DMA Size:    40 bits
DMA Mask:    0xffffffffff
Bus Location:    0000:01.00.0

and i did find this script, pretty slow but...
http://pastebin.com/KTpJZTrf author did say it was incomplete

[KittyKatt]

...uh, dunno that that was related to this issue. But okay.

I've included the attempt code in screenfetch, but haven't included gpu by default in $display until I think it's ready for use by everyone.

[KittyKatt]

Have added a couple more things to it and ironed out a few other things.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

I made some changes to the update you made 3 hrs ago, it was not working right, i have something in virtualbox and my nvidia system
hopefully i did not break your improvements, on what ever you did your changes for

# GPU Detection - Begin (EXPERIMENTAL!)
detectgpu () {
    if [ -n "$(type -p lspci)" ]; then
        gpu_info=$(lspci | grep VGA)
        gpu=$(echo "$gpu_info" | grep -oE '\[.*\]' | sed 's/\[//;s/\]//')
        gpu=$(echo "${gpu}" | sed -n '1h;2,$H;${g;s/\n/, /g;p}')
    fi

        gpu_info=$(glxinfo 2>/dev/null)

        gpu=$(echo "$gpu" | cut -d ':' -f2)
        gpu="${gpu:1}"

    fi

}
# GPU Detection - End

[spaghetti2514]

OS X-specific code to return the GPU is as follows

gpu=$(system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | awk -F': ' '/^\ *Chipset Model:/ {print $2}')

I don't know how reliable that is, but it works consistently on my machine at least.
If you want to create your own parser for system_profiler's output instead of using that awk command, the output it gives (for me) is

Most of which was entirely unnecessary for this comment, but hey.

[KittyKatt]

This looks nice! Will give it a go.

See commit ea14d5b.

[GM-Script-Writer-62850]

maybe we can go a step further and include the gpu driver and version
nvidia-smi -q | awk -F': ' '/^\ *Driver Version/ {print $2}'
given that command works nvidia's proprietary driver is installed its output is the version number

[KittyKatt]

detectgpu is pretty far along at this point. Any feature requests to it or bugs for it should be submitted as new issues! Thank you!
