Add all information to 'about' output that TrueOS had #68

Closed q-pa closed 5 years ago

q-pa commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I wanted to check which X11 driver is installed and searched for it in the output of the 'about' command, knowing that TrueOS had that info.

Describe the solution you'd like Please add the following info to Tridents 'about' output: ethernet card driver wifi driver sound card driver X11 driver

Does the about command on a current verison of TrueOS currently return those values?

q-pa commented 5 years ago

TrueOS 18.03 did. I have no information about the current version. For a regular user it was just quite convenient to gather this info with one command.

q5sys commented 5 years ago

Im just wondering if this is something that TrueOS broke upstream or if it is something we've done downstream from them. Because that will change where this needs to be fixed.

The "about" utility in Project Trident is completely new and unrelated to the old "about" script that TrueOS desktop used to have.

That being said, I did just add the ability to auto-detect which X11 configuration file is being used and print out which driver that config file has setup for the 18.12-U9 update. This should be considered fixed now.
