Comment 1 Toralf Förster 2010-01-30 20:29:37 UTC 
issue still present in 4.3.5
Comment 2 David Hubner 2010-02-14 23:59:24 UTC 
Yes, this is due to Solid getting the information when compiled and not from the runtime backend ( Mainly because the Hal does not support this ) I shall look at better ways to improve this by talking to Solid developers.

Ah- that's mean recompiling kinfocenter (4.4.2 in the mean while) won't solve ?DO O have to recompile kde-base/solid-runtime-4.4.2 or kde-base/solid-runtime-4.4.2 of my Gentoo system ?
Comment 4 David Hubner 2010-04-08 19:59:29 UTC 
You need to recompile kdelibs/solid. I am not sure what package that is in gentoo
Comment 5 Toralf Förster 2010-05-15 12:22:36 UTC 
Did it - no success - BTW I currently at 4.4.3 and issue is still present.
Comment 6 David Hubner 2010-05-18 12:09:28 UTC 
Ok, I know what the problem is.. I have some time this week and shall try and fix the problem in solid.

Any news on this?
Comment 8 David Hubner 2010-06-03 23:24:13 UTC 
Not yet, been far too buzy... I shall try to look at it this weekend!
Comment 9 David Hubner 2010-06-05 23:52:12 UTC 
I looked into this. Processor information from HAL is awful, which is the problem. Now solid can have multiple backends I shall look at fixing this with a new backend or coding a udev backend for solid ( I am not sure if this is being worked on but if not I shall do it ) 

Unfortunately this is a feature and will not make it until 4.6

Fixed in KDE 4.6 thanks to the solid team
