hwd: not found in sync db

Just did a fresh Arch64 0.7.2 installation. Maybe I'm missing something really obvious here. I just did pacman -Syu. All my other packages have installed nicely but pacman can't find hwd in the sync db. Did I screw something up? Is there a hwd package for Arch64?

No, that's right. It's not there.

lshwd is available, though.


What the beep was that?

Re: hwd: not found in sync db

If you plan on using hwd at boot, it's no longer needed.  use MOD_AUTOLOAD instead

Re: hwd: not found in sync db

I remember that hwd fails to build on x86_64. It was something with the monitor part.

Oh, yeah, good point - the code to read the EDID from the graphical hardware is written in assembly (LRMI or LPMI or something - "Protected Mode" from the DOS days).

Re: hwd: not found in sync db

Is the project still activly developed? Who is/was the developer? Can we expect changes to make it compile on our architecture or should we try to leave that part(patch/sed whatever)?

Re: hwd: not found in sync db

ddcxinfo-arch is the problem. It's a dependency fro hwd.

Re: hwd: not found in sync db

I was able to build hwd when removing ddcxinfo dep. But Xorg configuration part won't work for x86_64. Is it worth to upload it to extra without the xorg part?

I guess it would be better to wait and see if we can get ddcxinfo-arch fixed before.

AndyRTR > I guess so, yes as soon as hwd can provides hardware & modules conf information in a nice output. Below is hwd output on Arch-0.8 x86, and I can't think about something so nice/compact/accurate (just compare this with lspci, or more funny, Everest output on Wiwi lol )

I developed it but the search engine (lshwd) and ddcxinfo-arch by z4ziggy. Hwd is a front end. Before lshwd hwd used kudzu(??), Red Hat hw detect and it's auto x configure. What I have (or had) in mind is to use hwdetect as search engine but not got time to study how to read the information with hwd.
