Using the graphinfo Command

The graphinfo command can be used to determine if you have image acceleration hardware installed on your system. To do this, type:

   graphinfo | more

If you have Imaging Visualization Accelerator ( IVX) hardware installed on your system, the following line will appear in the "CONFIGURATION INFORMATION" section:

   image accelerator: yes

If you do not have IVX hardware installed on your system, the "CONFIGURATION INFORMATION" section will not include an "image accelerator" line.

On systems with IVX hardware, the entire section will look similar to the following output. (Note that this is a partial listing of what the graphinfo command reports for the HCRX-8 plus IVX.)
