Description Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri 2004-09-01 19:54:54 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
OS:                Linux

some kinfocenter modules/views are good, but some are really bad.

One module that should be improved is Interrupts.

It's only the /proc/interrupts dump, it should be parsed and displayed in a more human readable form.

This is just a matter of make it a tree based on processor number and put each field in it's own table cell.
Comment 1 Helge Deller 2004-09-03 20:37:33 UTC
Agreed - the Interrupts info should be enhanced.

But you can't just rewrite the code/parser of the /proc/interrupts dump, because Linux and KDE runs on many different platforms which have a different layout of the /proc/interrupts file.

Instead with Linux 2.6 we should use the libsysfs library instead and get all needed information that way.

Given the edge case use of the interrupts module we'll not be spending time on implementing and maintaining column parsing.
