Help

The "HowToIdentifyADevice" pages above lists multiple way to identify your devices. The first in each page is the easier one, among the tools installed by default on a "Debian Desktop" installation. Often, you might want to install a suggest optional tool, which would be easier to use.

Todo

  • pnp devices

  • DMI / SMBIOS (not actually a device ;)

  • input devices

  • howto : using gnome or kde gui tool based on hal - Unless the tool is available by default in the "Debian Gnome Desktop", list it a the second choice.
