-* Harddrake TODO:
-** fixes
-*** if no file don't run configurator
-*** don't offer to run configurator if empty hash (aka first boot)
-*** IDE, SCSI: bus => bus_id, bus="IDE/SCSI"
-*** SCSI: get vendor string
-*** timeout on dialogs in service
-*** mouse.pm: only probe serial if :
-**** serial mouse previously detected
-**** no non-serial mouse found
-
-** wishes
-*** move all drakx tools into just a small one-liner that uses real <tool>.pm
- so that harddrake and mcc reduces their memory usage pattern and
- be faster (the next fast step will be to use perl6/parrot)
-*** scanner/sound/printer/ ... non needed by X, posponed to X11
-
-** missing
-*** add updfstab
-*** make all drakx tools a simple one-liner that call right module so that
- harddrake2 and mcc can load these tools without more ram eater
-*** module options configuration button
-*** enable the user to force a module (isa, isapnp, ...)
-*** detect pcimcia:
-
- foreach (detect_devices::pcmcia_probe()) {
- printf "m: %-15s t: %-20s d: %-12s d: %s\n",
- $_->{driver}, $_->{type}, $_->{device}, $_->{description}
- }
-
-
-** ensure scannerdrake use is ok (=> yvounet)
-
-
-* Postponed
-** use fbgtk+2 when booting on fbcon for smoother GUI
-*** pixel, convert perl-GTK to gtk+2 :-)
-
-** for to send a message for unknown hardware to install@mandrakesoft.com
-*** use drakbugreport ?
-
- Subject: [UNKNOW HARDWARE] or a new other ml
- -> do you konw how to configure it under linux ?
- -> description
-
-
-
-* / no hope / useless :
-** don't die when one icon is missing ?
-** Once we've swtiched to perl-5.8, consider doing:
- use Storable;
- retrieve %oldconfig
- store %config, $previous_conf;
-
-** move som subs into detect_devices.pm
-** enable a string to be passed as detector; in that case, do ourself the =~
-** alter detect_devices in order to only probe one time
-** detect *ALL* mouses if more than one (mousedrake?)
-
-** in Mandrake 9.0 :
-
- "Mass storage" => (Floppy,
- Disk,
- Cdrom,
- Tape)
-
- "Network" => (Ethernetcard,
- Modem,
- Isdn)
- "Multimedia" => (Videocard,
- Tvcard,
- Soundcard,

-
-no please.
-just one month ago you switch SBLive from Alsa to OSS ( cause drakX
-set it as OSS and harddrake as Alsa ).
-There were also a discussion concerning the fact that Alsa doesn't
-support emu-tools and so all available options.
-Last but not least, several peoples report pbs with Alsa ( is sound is
-too high you have disturbances ). So someone is going to ask you for
-OSS as it want to use some features os SBLive, etc ...
-
-To my mind the best way for this ( but too late for 8.2 ) will be to
-have a tool called soundrake. Thanks to this tools, you choose at the
-beginning if you want to use OSS or alsa and then try to correctly
-configure your sound card. This tool should be able to work in
-embended mo in harddrake or harddrake2 ( infos concerning this so long
-awaiting harddrake 2 ? ).
-
-In order to make this tool be a perfect tool, it should be able to
-advice user concerning the advantage and the disadvantage of each
-driver ( indeed alsa sometimes is better than OSS as it support full
-duplex and wave mixing on more sound cards ).
-It's also disturbing is harddrake set alsa by default and XrakX set
-OSS by default as sometimes by lanching harddrake ( just to see what
-happen ) you lose ( or seems to lose ) your sound card ( mute mixer )
-
-For example :
-+ launch harddrake
-+ use autodetection : yes/no
-+ if auto detects enable, it detects a SBLive.
-+ explanations text concerning the fact that :
- if I use OSS I will be able to use sounds effects, live drive and
-others things ( AC-3 passthrough ) thanks to the emu10k1-tools packages
-( available on CD sets and installable via Software Manager )
- if I use Alsa, I won't be able to use emu10k1-tools but at the
-contrary I will be able to use midi software as alsa module support midi
-+ ask user which one he wants to use : OSS / Alsa ?
-+ set the sound card drivers and modules.conf according to user wishes
-+ <mode= dream> if I select OSS, installed emu10k1-tools and provide a
-GUI to configure them </mode = dream>
-+ <mode= dream> if I select Alsa unmute at least PCM and Vol or display
-a warning saying that by default Alsa mute everything ( configure alsa
-service so that it save mixer settings )
-+ test the sound ( mandrake sound theme )
-+ do you hear something ?
-+ yes -> your sound card have been properly set.
-+ if no -> try the others drivers set or send lspcidrake -v to
-somebody@somewhere.org to check for support for your sound card
-+ Do you ahave another sound card ?
