Let us go through all outstanding bugs filed against Debian pciutils: > #887113 pciutils: lspci does not detect sound for nvidia MPC67 on Pavilion DV9720us > #775453 /usr/bin/lspci: "lspci does not detect nvidia geforce 210M on Asus UL80Vt" These are likely kernel issues. Since they are a decade old, we should ask the submitter for testing on a recent kernel. > #656925 failure to detect PCIe Gigabit LAN Not a pciutils problem, probably a missing kernel driver. It's from 2012, so it should be tested with a recent kernel. > #774063 pciutils: update-pciids changes md5sum of pci.ids This is specific to Debian. Another alternative would be to make update-pciids store the downloaded file to /usr/local/share and let libpci prefer this file over the one if /usr/share if it exists. > #595328 /usr/bin/lspci: lspci reports wrong video ram size It's from 2010, so I am not sure if it's worth investigating. When a bug like this is submitted, please ask the author to provide the output of "lspci -vvxxx". > #640239 /usr/bin/lspci: lspci -t (-v) doesn't show bridges We have rewritten the whole tree display code since this version, I hope that this problem does not exist any more. > #870000 pciutils: Debian Stretch freeze when I use "lspci" Very likely a hardware bug. If it should be worked around, the right place is the kernel. > #924237 lspci shows wrong/misleading string instead of "Device xxxx" Interesting... can you ask the submitter if they can reproduce it with current pciutils? > #1087569 pcilmr.8: Some remarks and editorial changes for this man page > #1087678 pcilib.7: Some remarks and editorial changes for this man page > #1099040 setpci.8: Some remarks and a patch with editorial changes for this man page Bjarni, I assume that these are the bugs that triggered your message. I don't see any Debian patches to pciutils man pages, so I will apply your patches upstream. > #585146 lspci: query the database for specific vendor/device IDs This could be useful. I will consider adding this feature. > #929984 lspci: please make -nn the default I admit that it would help in some cases, but on the other hand, it would make the default output more cluttered, so I don't think it's a clear win.
