Hello all, My idea is a long story. To keep it short, recently I filed this feature request - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436288 - in the GNOME Bugzilla.
Currently "System -> Preferences -> Hardware Information" starts the HAL Device Manager, which can give information on the hardware present in a system. However, this application is far from useful and user friendly. I explained my idea and use-cases in detail in the aforementioned bug report, but basically I suggest giving the HAL Device Manager application a total makeover and enhance it heavily. Because the HAL Device Manager application isn't part of GNOME but of HAL itself, I was asked to file again at freedesktop's Bugzilla. I did - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10909 - but there I was told that the HAL Device Manager was already dropped from the HAL package and no longer available, and that I should file a feature request at my Desktop Environment of choice. After consulting with the triager who processed my previous feature request filed at GNOME's Bugzilla, I was advised to post a message to this list. I hope anyone would be interested in developing such an application?
