Example 1: My headless Intel INS1020 (w/o a graphics card of any kind)
returns nothing. :)
Example 2: One of the minimal LRP-based routers I have still in
production returns an error (no sudo command, no lspci command), but
that's kind of cheating.
I suspect non-pci graphics cards (ie: ISA/EISA) would also not show up
in lspci output, but that might also be considered cheating, and I have
no easy way to test this (the minimal systems I currently have assembled
and ready access to wouldn't be able to boot and run anything that
includes lspci).
Interestingly, the minimal flash-based debian fanless firewall install I
showed at the recent KULUA *DOES* properly list the VGA card (AMD Geode
LX Video), at least if I rip off the sudo part (sudo isn't installed)
and just run lspci -v | grep VGA as root. :)
