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! :)

|
|
|
|
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)
|
