+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+		       Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+                          675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+			    NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+

+  the login in case of failure.
+- BUG: Displayconfig was getting confused by unknown graphics cards and
+  crashing. (Malone bug #32915)
+- BUG: Displayconfig still can't handling unicode in xorg.conf. (Malone bug
+  #34437).
+- BUG: Displayconfig is now more forgiving when xorg.conf contains characters
+  that are illegal with respect to the system character encoding. (Malone bug

+- BUG: Displayconfig did not correctly handle situations where the X RandR
+  extension is missing.
+- BUG: Displayconfig would fail when loading some xorg.conf files containing
+  multiple graphics card specifications. (Malone bug #37275, patch applied)
+- BUG: Userconfig didn't respect the entered UID when creating a account.
+  (Malone bug #37722).
+- Displayconfig: Added 1280x960 modes (60 & 75Hz).
+  
+* Friday 17 March 2006 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>
+- version 0.6.3
+- BUG: userconfig and unixauthdb didn't respect the ownership of system files
+  when update /etc/passwd and friends. (Malone bug #26175).
+- BUG: userconfig and unixauthdb would fail if /etc/passwd, /etc/groups or
+  /etc/shadow contained blank lines.
+- BUG: displayconfig now does a better job of detecting graphics PCI devices
+  and handling non-detected graphics cards. Instead of crashing, "generic
+  VESA" is used when the type of card can't be found. (Malone bug #32915)
+- The DPI that displayconfig-restore.py uses at login time can now be
+  controlled by adding a line to ~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc
+  in the [General] section. Add "dpi=xserver" to use the default DPI
+  from the X server, or "dpi=100" to use 100 DPI for example.
+- BUG: Widescreen modes were missing in displayconfig.
+- Displayconfig: Monitors can now be specified as being standard aspect ratio
+  or widescreen.
+- BUG: Using the xresprobe command in displayconfig would crash some people's
+  machines. The much more safer ddcprobe command is now used.
+  (Malone bug #33943)
+- BUG: A bug is displayconfig stopped monitor model detection. The xresprobe
+  command didn't actually return the eisa ID of the connected monitor.
+  ddcprobe does though (see above).
+- BUG: Displayconfig. Changes to the monitor model or image format are
+  shown immediately on the "Size & Orientation" tab, even if the screen is
+  currently being used.
+- BUG: When userconfig asks about whether the home directory should be created
+  when creating a new account, sometimes the wrong directory name was shown in
+  the dialog.
+- BUG: Powerbook screen mode "1280x854" add to displayconfig. (Malone bug
+  #34383).
+- BUG: Displayconfig would throw an exception if the current display didn't
+  support DPMS. (Malone bug #34316).
+- BUG: Most utilities would fail if they came across UTF-8 or unicode
+  characters. (Malone bug #34194).
+- BUG: Displayconfig wouldn't correctly detect the presence of installed
+  proprietary drivers. (OculusAquilae)
+- BUG: Displayconfig had trouble handling BusID rows in xorg.conf. This would
+  cause the xorg.conf to be incorrectly read. (Tonio)
+- Added some extra methods to ScanPCI.py to aid debugging.
+- BUG: Displayconfig would not save the user's display settings when running
+  in kcontrol or systemsettings. (Malone bug #35257)
+
+* Wednesday 1 March 2006 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>
+- version 0.6.2
+- BUG: Small bug in displayconfig that caused it to bug out around the 
+  newCustomMonitor() method.
+- BUG: userconfig had space character just before the she-bang which really
+  caused some trouble the for the shell.
+- BUG: Displayconfig: Selecting the "Plug n Play" monitor directly without
+  clicking on "Detect" meant that only a very small set of resolutions would
+  be written to xorg.conf.
+- BUG: The DPI calculations in displayconfig-restore.py where broken. This
+  resulted in the wrong DPI being used.
+- BUG: Displayconfig: The clone mode option is now correctly disabled for
+  Matrox cards (mga driver).
+- BUG: Displayconfig would bug out if the monitor model in the xorg.conf was
+  anything other than Plug n Play.
+- BUG: Displayconfig would bug out if the DPMS Standby setting was 0 and DPMS
+  enabled.
+- Displayconfig is now shown in kcontrol under settings/hardware instead of
+  settings/system.
+- BUG: Small bug in displayconfig that will causes displayconfig to bug out
+  when trying to detect the monitor and no EDID info is available.
+- BUG: Small cosmetic bug in displayconfig where the some tabs were missing
+  margins when shown in kcontrol/system settings.
+- BUG: displayconfig would bug out when detecting ATI dualhead cards.
+  (pci_device.text was None).
+
+* Monday 20 February 2006 Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>
+- version 0.6.1
+- displayconfig-hwprobe.py now saves its scan info in 
+  /var/lib/guidance/guidance-gfxhardware-snapshot.
+- "Details..." button added to mountconfig in addition to the context menu for
+   opening the disk info dialog.
+- BUG: serviceconfig: When starting and stopping daemons, the scripts expect a

+  you end up seeing garbage characters. TERM is now set to vt100 when running
+  commands.
+- BUG: displayconfig: Reset button didn't reset all of the parts/fields in the
+  GUI.
+- Detect dualhead Matrox cards.
+- displayconfig-restore.py now at login time also chooses and sets a 'sane'
+  DPI setting used by applications for fonts. More info is in the 
+  displayconfig-restore.py source file.
+- BUG: displayconfig-restore.py wasn't restoring the user's display resolution

+!!! Warning: Read this through to the end. These tools can be dangerous. !!!
+
+Guidance 0.8.0
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+by Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>, Sebastian Kügler <sebas@vizzzion.org>
+& Yuriy Kozlov <yuriy.kozlov@gmail.com>, Martin Böhm <martin.bohm@kubuntu.org>
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+Guidance is a collection of system administration tools for Linux/KDE systems
+that is designed to be:
+
+  * Update to date
+  * High quality, designed with user friendliness as high priority. (That is
+    to say that the tools should get the job done quickly, accurately and with
+    as little effort as possible.)
+  * Use KDE and "fit in" with KDE.
+  * Maintainable. 
+  * Free Software
+
+  
+Warning
+-------
+These tools often require root access and modify important system files in
+order to do their job. There is a very real chance that these tools can
+destroy your computer and your data. Backup your data! Also especially
+backup up /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/fstab. If you don't know what
+I'm talking about now then you probably shouldn't try using Guidance yet.
+You should have some idea how to fix 
+
+We accept no responsibility in the event that something goes terribly wrong.
+You have been warned.
+
+
+Status
+------
+The tools that make up Guidance are in different stages of development and
+have only been tested on Mandrake.
+
+* userconfig - User & Group configuration. Supports /etc/passwd and
+  /etc/shadow right now.
+  
+* serviceconfig - System services configuration utility. Feature complete.
+  Works on Mandrake, Debian, (K)ubuntu Gentoo and maybe Red Hat out of the box.
+
+* mountconfig - Mount point configuration utility. Feature complete and
+  stable.
+
+* displayconfig - Display and graphics card configuration utility. Feature
+  complete but it only tested on Kubuntu right now.
+
+* wineconfig - Wine configuration utility.
+
+* grubconfig - Grub boot loader configuration utility. beta quality now.
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+* Linux.
+
+* Python. 2.4 recommended. You probably already have Python installed, and if
+  not then it will most definately be available for you distribution of choice.
+
+* PyQt / PyKDE. Version 3.7 or higher. PyQt and PyKDE are distributed with
+  KDE as part of kde-bindings since version 3.3. 
+  
+  For versions of KDE before 3.3 it is possible to install PyQt/PyKDE
+  directly. The homepage for PyQt and PyKDE is:
+
+    http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pykde/index.php
+    
+  Packages for most popular distributions are available here:
+  
+    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61057
+
+* KDE 3.
+
+* "PyKDE Extensions" is needed for installation. It is available here:
+  http://www.simonzone.com/software/pykdeextensions/
+  This is also a runtime requirement!
+
+* libpythonize. If you don't want the tools to appear on the KDE Control
+  Center of you just don't want to bother with libpythonize, then you can
+  build Guidance with this command: 
+
+    python setup.py install build_kcm --no-kcontrol
+
+  libpythonize is only needed for the KDE Control Center. 
+
+* You also need to have the development files from your X-server installed,
+  XFree86 or Xorg. Most distributions package these files up in a package
+  called XFree86-devel, or Xorg-devel, or libxorg-X11-devel or some similar.
+
+* Specifically, the following packages are needed on Kubuntu:
+
+    build-essential
+    python-sip4-dev
+    libxxf86vm-dev
+    libxrender-dev
+    libxrandr-dev
+    libpythonize0-dev
+    pyqt-tools
+    libtool
+    kde-devel
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+As root run:
+
+  ./setup.py install
+
+This will test for a working installation of PyQt/PyKDE and automatically
+install the files using the same installation prefix as KDE. You will need
+to have a working Python install before you can even run the setup.py script.
+
+displayconfig-hwprobe installation
+----------------------------------
+displayconfig-hwprobe.py is a small program that should be run at boottime
+before Xorg is started. It scans the PCI bus looking for graphics cards and
+compares the list it finds to the previous time it was run. If the two lists
+of hardware are different then "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" is automatically
+run in non-interactive mode to generate a new xorg.conf based on the new
+hardware.
+
+The philosophy is that it is better to have a system with a raw but working
+xorg.conf and X server, than to keep the old configuration and a Xorg that
+won't startup. Swapping a graphics card should not "break" the OS.
+
+The setup.py script currently does not install displayconfig-hwprobe.py by
+itself. For now this must be done by the packager. displayconfig-hwprobe.py
+should be put in /etc/init.d and installed to run at boot time with a command
+like this:
+
+    update-rc.d displayconfig-hwprobe.py start 18 3 .
+
+displayconfig-hwprobe.py only supports Kubuntu right now. Perhaps in the
+future displayconfig-hwprobe will be expanded to detect hardware and generate
+an xorg.conf by itself.
+
+More information about displayconfig-hwprobe.py and the files it uses is
+inside displayconfig-hwprobe.py. Currently the hardware data is written to
+/var/lib/guidance/guidance-gfxhardware-snapshot. IMPORTANT: The directory
+/var/lib/guidance/ should be created before using displayconfig-hwprobe.py.
+
+
+Running
+-------
+Installation should add a couple of entries to the KDE Control Center in the
+System section (displayconfig will show up in Peripherals). It is also possible 
+to run the commands outside of the KDE Control Center from the shell as root:
+
+  * serviceconfig
+  * userconfig
+  * mountconfig
+  * displayconfig
+  * wineconfig
+  * grubconfig
+  
+Reporting Bugs
+--------------
+Bug reports and feedback can be sent to simon@simonzone.com . Do make sure
+that say which version of Guidance you are using and also what Linux
+distribution you are using, and also how you installed SIP, PyQt, PyKDE. Also
+if any error messages are printing to the console, email those too. By
+running these tools from the command line you can often get useful (to me)
+debug information. That kind of information is valuable.
+
+
+Deinstallation
+--------------
+As root run:
+
+  ./setup.py uninstall

+Intro
+~~~~~
+In this file I want to try to explain some practical things about Guidance
+the "project" and some basic (and hopefully not too heavy) policies about how

+Developers
+~~~~~~~~~~
+The list of developers as of 11 Feb 2007:
+
+Simon Edwards <simon@simonzone.com>, SVN username: sedwards, IRC: sime (unregistered)
+Sebastian Kügler <sebas@kde.nl>, SVN username: sebas, IRC: sebas
+Yuriy Kozlov <yuriy.kozlov@gmail.com>, SVN username: ykozlov, IRC: yuriy
+Martin Böhm <martin.bohm@kubuntu.org>, SVN username: martinbohm, IRC: ???
+
+"Lure" on #kubuntu-devel will join this list whether he likes it or not if he keeps
+on committing stuff to powermanager. ;-)
+
+
+Subversion
+~~~~~~~~~~
+Main development occurs in KDE's subversion repository in
+/trunk/kdereview/guidance. Branches of the stable releases can be found
+in svn under /kde/branches/guidance/. 0.6 was used in the Kubuntu Dapper, 0.7
+was in Edgy.
+
+
+Python source code
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Use 4 spaces for indentation, for the simple reason that it is very common
+and mixing indentation styles is a PITA.
+
+I (Simon) use Qt/KDE style naming conventions for methods. For variable
+names I'm a bit inconsistent but it is usually lower case of lower case
+with underscores. All I ask is that variable names be descriptive and
+understandable.
+
+TIP: When dealing with translated strings, use uncide() and not str(),
+otherwise things will break on translated desktops.

+Release procedure

+truly libdetect is old and deprecated 
+(harddrake (was lothar) used to use it)
+
+we (mandrake) are now mostly using ldetect & ldetect-lst
+
+AFAIK here are the various free software hardware databases:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+- pci ----------
+
+  - pci.ids (in pciutils)
+    maps vendor+device -> description
+     and vendor+device+subvendor+subdevice -> description
+    also has device classes names
+
+  - modules.pcimap (in kernel /lib/modules/2.4*/)
+    maps vendor+device -> module
+     and vendor+device+subvendor+subdevice -> module
+
+  - XFree's xf86PciInfo.h (in XFree's source: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86PciInfo.h)
+    maps vendor+device -> description
+
+  - RedHat's pcitable (in hwdata)
+    maps vendor+device -> module+description
+      and a few vendor+device+subvendor+subdevice -> module+description
+      when needed     
+    module can also be "Card:xxxx" for XFree (using Cards, see below)
+
+  - Mandrake's pcitable (in ldetect-lst)
+    same format as RedHat's (except for a few syntactical changes since mandrake kept old RedHat's format)
+    module can also be 
+      "Card:xxxx" for XFree (using Cards+, see below)
+      "Server:xxxx" for XFree3
+      "ISDN:xxxx" for hisax special parameters
+      "Bad:xxxx" for warning about unhandled devices (mainly winmodems)
+
+  - Mandrake old detect's pci.lst (in detect-lst)
+    maps vendor+device -> class+module+description
+
+  - Progeny's pci.lst (in discover-data)
+    same format as detect
+    maps vendor+device -> class+module+description
+    module can also be 
+      "Server:XFree86(module)" for XFree4
+      "Server:XF86_xxx" for XFree3
+
+some comments:
+
+  - the "class" in pci.lst is not useful when "module" is given since
+    from the module name, one can have the "class"
+
+  - the subvendor+subdevice distinction is sometimes useful 
+    (not very often though)
+
+  - hopefully one day modules.pcimap will be the reference :)
+    (except for XFree of course)
+
+tools using those databases:
+
+  - kudzu and anaconda are using pcitable from hwdata
+
+  - library ldetect accesses pcitable from ldetect-lst,
+    this library is used by DrakX and drakxtools.
+    Mandrake's patched kudzu uses pcitable from ldetect-lst
+
+  - discover uses pci.ids from discover-data
+
+  - i don't know if tools are using modules.pcimap
+
+- XFree --------------------
+
+  - XFree comes with Cards
+ 
+  - Redhat has its own version (in hwdata)
+
+  - Mandrake has its own version Cards+ & CardsNames (in ldetect-lst)
+    (mainly a merge of XF3 Cards and XF4 Cards)
+
+  - discover doesn't need it since it's precising the server name
+    (XF3) or the module name (XF4) (?)
+    this is usually enough (except if you want to propose the choice,
+    but who wants XF3 nowadays :)
+
+
+- usb --------------------
+
+  - usbutils's usb.ids
+    maps vendor+device -> description
+    also has device classes names and some more stuff
+
+  - modules.usbmap (in kernel /lib/modules/2.4*/)
+    maps vendor+device -> module  (?)
+
+  - Mandrake's usbtable (in ldetect-lst)
+    maps vendor+device -> module+description
+    module can also be 
+      "Mouse:xxxx" for mouse configuration (fed to mousedrake)
+      "Tablet:wacom" for wacom tablet configuration
+      "Flag:xxxx" for DrakX package choosing
+      "Floppy:normal"
+
+  - Progeny's usb.lst (in discover-data)
+    maps vendor+device -> class+module+description
+    (but current's version only have module=unknown, so what's it
+    for, why not usb.ids?)
+
+
+tools using those databases:
+
+  - library ldetect accesses usbtable from ldetect-lst
+    this library is used by DrakX and drakxtools
+
+  - i don't know if tools are using modules.usbmap
+
+- scanner --------------------
+
+  - ScannerDB (in ldetect-lst)
+    maps name -> driver+kind(usb,scsi,serial,parallel)+options+various
+    (i don't know much about it, i don't know if yves made it from
+     scratch or what. ask yduret@mandrakesoft.com for more)
+
+- isdn --------------------
+
+  - isdn.db (in ldetect-lst)
+    list of internet providers by country
+     -> phone number + domainname + dns1 (ip) + dns2
+
+- old or small databases ----------
+
+  - isa.lst (detect), isatable (ldetect-lst), modules.isapnpmap (kernel)
+  - pcmcia.lst (detect, discover-data), pcmciatable (ldetect-lst)
+  - modules.parportmap (kernel but empty?)
+  - modules.ieee1394map (kernel but empty?)
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There may be some errors, or some missing stuff, please correct me!
+
+I've written a tool to keep in sync with as many databases as
+possible. see merge2pcitable.pl in
+http://www.mandrakelinux.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/soft/ldetect-lst/convert/
+
+Maybe some common mailing list could be set up to deal with this? 
+
+*but* note that the database is quite kernel dependent. 
+- our pcitable doesn't handle this nicely
+- redhat has "upgradelist" in hwdata to partly handle this
+- i know we handle some pbs via /lib/modutils/macros with things like
+"if `kernelversion` = 2.4", debian seems to have it in
+/etc/modutils/arch
+
+
+Once again, hopefully one day modules.pcimap and modules.usbmap will
+be the reference! :)
+
+
+
+[...]
+
+> Mandrake switched from libdetect to kudzu, afaik
+> (latest mandrake (8.2) version is using kudzu for HW detection).
+
+well, mandrake has many tools doing more or less the same thing (and
+alas, not exactly always the same thing): DrakX (during install),
+drakxtools (when called, after install), kudzu (at boot, usually
+calling a drakxtools)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+List of hardware probing tools to use for displayconfig:
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+[1] xvinfo - Print out X-Video extension adaptor information
+
+    xvinfo  prints  out  the  capabilities of any video adaptors
+    associated with the display
+    that are accesible through the X-Video extension.
+
+[2] xresprobe - Prints out resolutions, frequency and displaytype.
+    Doesn't work in all cases. Works via ddc, I guess.
+
+[3] ddcprobe - Uses VESA BIOS Extension
+    Detects VGA + OEM, modes (only set up modes?), vid mem (kudzu)
+
+[3] read-edid
+    get-edid|parse-edid prints out a "good-looking" Monitor Section for
+    xorg.conf, not reliable (failed on notebook)
+
+[4] ddcxinfo - prints out modelines, hsync and vsync (kudzu)
+
+[5] svgamodes - prints out supported video modes (kudzu)

+* What is the current setup? (Xinerama? Singlehead? Twinview?)
+
+- Warning: Xinerama vs. DRI
+    * "unlinking" the sliders will yield a warning "Using different 
+    resolutions on the screens will disable 3D hardware acceleration on 
+    the second head", which is a Xinerama deficiency).
+
+    Note: Probably only Ati and nvidia do support mergedFB properly, other 
+    drivers might lose xinerama features like placement and maximize
+
+- Drag and drop widget
+  * The fun part: implementing a Drag and Drop widget where the (resizing) 
+  screens can be dragged into their respective relative position, 
+  "snapping" in the more obvious ones, i.e. plain "left of" and "right 
+  of", "above" and "under" (without offset). 
+
+
+- displayconfig.MonitorPreview:
+	Singleheadpreview: Monitor keeps size
+	DualheadPreview: like now, monitor resizes to show relative screen size
+
+Displayconfig; Notes abstractielaag
+-------------------------------------
+* een XSetup heeft N gfxcards.
+* een GfxCard heeft N Monitors
+* XSetup is een container voor alle objecten uit de abstractielaag.
+* XSetup.addMonitor(monitor,gfxcard) waarbij gfxcard al in XSetup zit en een 
+  referentie naar de kaart vormt waarop monitor is aangesloten.
+* Een Adaptor heeft een 1:1 relatie met een monitor, en is 'onderdeel' van 
+  een "Screen" (in de zin van  Screen section uit xorg.conf)
+* Controls zoals resize en de rotatie / mirroring widgets manipuleren een 
+  Adaptor, die intern de Screen manipuleert 
+* Singlehead resolutie verandert via xrandr en slaat settings op via 
+  displayconfig-restore.py
+* Dualhead resolutie aanpassen pakt intern een passende metamode (bij twinview) 
+  en checkt of alle zinvolle metamodes beschikbaar zijn, anders wordt de user 
+  gewaarschuwd dat dit eerst moet gebeuren.
+* Adaptor in dualhead / twinview modus worden dus naar een screen vertaald 
+  metamodes heeft.
+* Screen moet dan nog support voor metamodes krijgen.
+    
+    
+    
+displayconfig:
+===============
+* Current resolution doesn't get recognized if current != highest resolution
+* new tab display powermanagement, just like the existing tab, we need to be
+  able to at least replace existing functionality
+
+
+New Widgets:
+-------------
+* DualheadPreview
+* RadioButtons instead of dropdown for Positioning
+
+* Detect if we're already running on dualhead, (en|dis)able widgets accordingly
+* Nvidia MergedFB
+    - Make preview of dualhead more clear (only xinerama or also mergedFB?)
+    - Generate list of Metamodes from resolutions available
+    - write dualhead settings to xorg.conf
+* Compare dualhead with different drivers WRT xorg.conf
+    - generic Xinerama (Matrox, others?)
+    - dualhead for fglrx, SiS ...
+    - MergedFB as special case for nvidia (sis?)
+* Preview should be rotatable (and|or) resizable (and|or) DualHeadpreview?
+* Add missing elements to DualHeadTab
+    - [ ] Use MergedFB (binds two resolution sliders)
+    - label with warning "You can only use DRI on one head with different resolutions blahblah"
+FIXME: enabling Dualhead should:
+    - Update resolutions with "metamodes"
+    - disable Rotation/mirroring stuff
+    - Add ServerLayout to xorg.conf
+    - Add second Screen to xorg.conf
+    - Alternatively (if both resolutions are the same enable MergedFB
