Try downgrading to an older=20 version of dbus and checkout the changelog and the README file. However there are a lot of other ways to get informations about your=20 hardware. Just to name a few: lspci cat /proc/meminfo cat /proc/modules /proc/acpi/* cat /proc/filesystems cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info /proc/scsi/* ... You can also find a lot of information under /sys/ Cheers, Jay --=20 My system configuration (Gentoo Linux): http://www.linux-stats.org/index.= php?c=3Duserpage&sys=3D810 Registered Linux User #373457 --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
