lspci output *may* help but its database content is aleaready in
ldetect-lst so ...

/proc/cpuinfo may be usefull.

basically, for pci or usb devices, what we need is :
- the pci||usb ids (lspcidrake -v will give you them)
- the module to use (or "Card:..." for a gfx card, ...)
- a description string (in "Vendor|Device description" format)
  eg: "Intel Corporation|82801AA 810 Chipset USB Controller"

we need a string and supported frequency range (see
soft/ldetect-lst/lst/MonitorsDB)

scannerdrake has its own scanner db (see
soft/ldetect-lst/lst/ScannerDB)

basically, we need a name string, a driver name and a type name

we don't handle isa sound card.  only sndconfig does.




ps: (all soft/ldetect-lst/lst/XXX files means these're ldetect-lst
    files, located in soft/ldetect-lst/lst/ cvs module)
