'hinv' (Hardware INVentory) is the irix command you're looking for.
I know there's some sort of framebuffer support for it; since it doesn't
have a VGA mode. dunno anything more about it than that.
the Indy also has the distinction of being the only SGI to have an XFree86
driver for its video (newport).

we had one here for a while; and I saw it boot linux; but don't know any
more than that.
