https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=269795 ------- Comment #1 from kkaempf@novell.com 2007-04-30 02:57 MST ------- The hardware information inside the packages (see http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Management/Dependencies/Hardware) is only part of the equation. We need some 'dynamic detection mechanism' (a deamon ? a hal rule ?) which matches hot-plug devices to configuration (a yast workflow ?) and software (driver, firmware, etc.). So when a device is plugged in, the system tries to set it up properly. We do this already for usb-sticks, a generic solution for hot plug (usb, firewire, pci, ...) would be nice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I have no idea how to get aliases from these devices. Btw. HAL already know if this is a tablet PC (system.formfactor.subtype = 'tabletpc'), but this is not limited to WACOM Tablet PCs. So why not do the same as on SLE10: add an extra Tablet PC pattern (with all Tablet PC relevant packages as e.g *wacom*.rpm, xvkbd, xstroke, jarnal, xournal ...) and check via HAL if the machine is a Tablet PC via HAL and activate the pattern if so. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I had the pattern (TabletPC) under "Zusätzliche Software" on a SLED10SP1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
