Scope

  • Changes in hwdb-client

Design

  • The data format needs to be fixed to real xml with a dtd so converting the data to Intels format will be easier
  • A test for 3D cards needs to be added
  • A test for USB devices needs to be added
  • The sound test needs to be reworked to not just use the gnome_sound_play command but do real checks on the hardware level
  • lsmod and probably modinfo output should be added
