[Kde-hardware-devel] Hal-less status (implemented interfaces)

[Alex Fiestas]

Hi there co-metalworkers.

We're close to accomplish one of our goals, a KDE 4.6 which doesn't 
depends on HAL and 100% retrocompatible, good work to everyone!

Below you can find a small summary of what backends are implementing 
what interfaces (according to supportedInterfaces). When writing this 
list I got couple of doubts

1-Is true that nobody is implementing Buttons? sounds weird to me :s
2-Someone has a SmartCardReader? I don't see how to implement this in 
hal source :/


I will try to get SerialInterface implemented in the next few days, and 
if  Button needs to be implemented, I think that I can do that in a 
couple of days too (according to hal source code it doesn't seems very 
complicated).

Cyap!
