One "app" that gets confused about what hardware it's running on is zypper. For example, yesterday while zypper-up'ing xorg packages from download.meego.com/live/Trunk/standard/, I got wrong shared-object libraries, probably the ones for EMGD graphics instead of the i915/i965 the ExoPC needs. In other words, the problem described in this thread is a system of the fact that 1. The separation between processors, board variants, UXes and screen resolutions in the OBS and package management system is not clean, in that it doesn't properly mirror the commonly used hardware in our community. At a minimum, this system should work with N900, N950, N9, Lenovo S10 and ExoPC, let alone more unusual hardware choices. 2. There *is* no single authoritative source for the needed information in /etc, /proc or /sys. At the moment, a developer must cobble it together.
