Ubuntu hardware database: KDE client released
Kubuntu HWDB | www.kdedevelopers.org
Jonathan Riddell (Ubuntu hacker and publisher of the KDE 3.5.3/4 binaries for Ubuntu) has released a hardware database client with a KDE front end; it uses PyQt4. There is also a GNOME version and it's expected to be included in the upcoming "Edgy" release this autumn. Packages can be downloaded here (I think you need the "common" package and either the GNOME or KDE binary). Feedback to here.
