[gentoo-catalyst] livecd-functions.sh and nvidia

[Nicolas Raspail]

Hi,

I think the pattern to detect an nvidia card is wrong in
livecd-functions.sh :

NVIDIA_CARD=$(echo ${NVIDIA} | awk 'BEGIN {RS=" "} /NV[0-9]+/ {print
$1}' | cut -d. -f1 | sed 's/ //' | sed 's:[^0-9]::g'

Here is the output of lspci on my system :

0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation nv40 [GeForce
6800 Ultra] (rev a1)

The regexp try to math a pattern like NV followed by numbers, but my
card appears as nv40, lowercase, and it isn't detected.

If I modify the line like this

NVIDIA_CARD=$(echo ${NVIDIA} | awk 'BEGIN {RS="
";IGNORECASE="1"} /NV[0-9]+/ {print $1}' | cut -d. -f1 | sed 's/ //' |
sed 's:[^0-9]::g'

the output is 40, which seems to be ok. As I'm not an awk user, perhaps,
my little modification is ugly, and someone has a better one ?

To test my solution, I will write an fsscript that modify the
livecd-functions.sh, rebuild my livecd and test the new iso.

Nicolas
