lspci would be entered after the system boots up prior to running any sax2 
commands. Then doing the 'sax2 -p' would show us what sax2 can see on the 
PCI bus.

After the system boots up at the root prompt. After booting each of our test 
scenarios you could do 1) 'lspci' to see if the video card is seen, then 2) 
'sax2 -p' to see if sax2 can see the card, then 3) 'sax2 -l' to see if sax2 
can configure it.
