   Yes:

   lspci  -  /usr/bin/prtpci or /usr/X11/bin/scanpci
   dmesg - /usr/sbin/dmesg
   lsusb - Not yet included in BeleniX, though libusb is already included.
   lshw - /usr/sbin/smbios (detailed human readable info), /usr/sbin/prtconf

   Slightly offtopic but these other stuff should help in general:

   Processor - /usr/sbin/psrinfo -pv
   Architecture - /usr/bin/isainfo
   Summary system info - /usr/sbin/prtdiag
   Disk primary partitions - /sbin/fdisk /dev/rdsk/c*d*p0
   Solaris VTOC table - /usr/sbin/prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c*d*s2
   Accurate measure of free memory -
       Login as root
       Execute  /usr/bin/mdb -k
       Enter command   ::memstat
       CTRL+D to come out of mdb
   Closer to actual estimate of process memory usage excluding
   the mmap-ed shared libs -
       /usr/bin/pmap -x <pid>
       Look at the total for the 4th column labeled "Anon".
       Also add in any non-Anon memory usage for the process
       itself. For those who who know this is mostly the executable
       text pages.
       For those who do not know ask this question at the next
       Bosug meet :)
   See the function call stack of a running process -
       /usr/bin/pstack <pid>
   See which libraries a process is using -
      /usr/bin/pldd <pid>
   See the command line arguments with which the process was
   started -
      /usr/bin/pargs <pid>
   See the process hierarchy -
     /usr/bin/ptree <pid>
     /usr/bin/ptree 1 gives the entire process hierarchy for the system.
   Change Desktop resolution dynamically -
       Execute  /usr/X11/bin/xrandr  to list possible resolutions
       Execute  /usr/X11/bin/xrandr -s <number> to set  the resolution
       In addition Xfce and KDE provide there own stuff for this.
