Hello.
I have reinstalled my server with 12.1.
Is there a way to list installed and running drivers and their version ( not from yast2 / Software management nor from yast2 / hardware Information ).
Especially for the graphics card and sound card.
Thank you for helping.
“lsmod” lists all loaded drivers. A list of installed drivers is nonsense, you’d have to list all hardware related kernel modules.
So I suppose I can run lsmod and then rpm -qa | grep xxxxxxxxx with module name which sound what I am looking for ?

You don’t understand, there are no drivers in Linux, all are inside the
kernel. The exception is proprietary drivers, like nvidia or ati video.

If you want help with your audio, give us the chipset details:
/sbin/lspci -nnk
This will produce a list of pci-attached hardware (including your audio chipset), and any driver in use for it.
That is exactly what I want to discover.
What software and what version my graphic cards is running.
I know that nouveau is blacklisted.
Yast2 / hardware info show nvidia and nv.
If the nvidia driver is active, this may help
sudo /sbin/modinfo nvidia
If you have loaded the nVIDIA proprietary video driver you can open up a terminal session and type this command for more information:
nvidia-smi -q
Here is the useful info I get (in openSUSE 12.2 which is beta)

lsmod | grep nv
will tell you which one is loaded, nvidia or nv.
Telcontar:~ # lsmod | grep nv
nvidia 12129441 30
and
Telcontar:~ # modinfo nvidia | grep ver
version: 290.10
vermagic: 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop SMP preempt mod_unload modversions
Telcontar:~ #
and
Telcontar:~ # rpm -qa | grep nvidia

It is just what I need.

**linux:~ #** lsmod | egrep '\<nv\>'
**linux:~ #**
→ nv is not loaded
**linux-srv:~ #** lsmod | egrep '\<nvidia\>'
nvidia 12294554 40
**linux-srv:~ #**
→ nvidia is loaded
Thank you for taking times.
