           Summary: solid doesn't detect cpu SSE support
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: knuckles gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I didn't find "solid" to file this bug against, so I filed it under kdelibs.

Solid incorrectly identifies the capacities of my cpu. Here's the output from solid's tutorial3, that tests for cpu extensions:
tutorial3(29301) main: Intel MMX supported: true
tutorial3(29301) main: Intel SSE supported: false
tutorial3(29301) main: Intel SSE2 supported: false
tutorial3(29301) main: Intel SSE3 supported: false
tutorial3(29301) main: Intel SSE4 supported: false
tutorial3(29301) main: AMD 3DNOW supported: true
tutorial3(29301) main: PPC AltiVec supported: false

but my cpu (amd athlon xp) supports SSE (but not SSE >= 2), and /proc/cpuinfo confirms it:
