RHEL5, lspci not working

I have RHEL5.3 as the OS, I'm trying to determine what graphics card is in the system so I can install the correct Nvidia driver. I typed in 'lspci' and received 'command not found'. lspci exists in the /sbin folder. Is there a way to make it work?

Hi, when logged in as a normal user (not as root) the /sbin directory is not in your path. Try
Quote:
/sbin/lspci
instead. to find your graphics-adapter you can use grep:
Quote:
/sbin/lspci | grep -i graphics
which will only show the line where your graphics-adapter is listed.
