Introduction to Hal-info

hal-info is just a small hal package that provides hardware data and quirks. These quirks are currently things like what mice support reporting battery status, what music players are supported and what cameras are detected. This could also include a list of display adaptors that need resuming or a list of broken batteries that might explode.

Getting the latest source

Caution.png

Note

This section is optional but recommended. You need this command only if you want to build the latest development version.

Check out the source from freedesktop.org:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/hal-info &&
cd hal &&
git-checkout -b 299d20799adb12bd129499dc3c4772eae10844ab &&
cd ..

It couldn't hurt to make a tarball so you have an unmodified source around for the future:

tar cvjf hal-info{-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.bz2,}
