hwd funny output

  Howto      : View howto: hwd -h

No X, mouse, USB, network, etc?  Never looked like this before.  All of those should have something except for PCMCIA.

hwd -e works fine, but gives this lovely message at the end:

/usr/bin/hwd: line 102:  5079 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/lshwd -a -cc

What is going on?

I never used hwd, I thought it was already obsolete when I started with Arch one year ago.

Re: hwd funny output

Not sure, what do you need it for? udev and the MODULES line in rc.conf should suffice for the basic hardware stuff and I've never used anything else than X -configure for xorg.conf.
