Can you include vdpauinfo to see video problems
For example :
# vdpauinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

I've rewritten report-video (version 1.2) so that it is compatible with
Tazoc's sys-info.

It will now pop up a Xdialog window only if launched from start menu.

When it is used at terminal it acts like a CLI application.
It's also French now

I have a RTL8111/8168B network card, r8169 is loaded, it works.

1/ I read in the internet that r8168 should be loaded instead and r8169 should be blacklisted. (seems to be fixed in recent kernels?).

2/ I see 6 related files in /lib/firmware
rtl8105e-1.fw rtl8168e-1.fw
rtl8168d-1.fw rtl8168e-2.fw
rtl8168d-2.fw rtl8168e-3.fw
But it seems none of them is loaded, or needs to be ?

For security, this line can be added to /etc/host.conf
nospoof on

/etc/modules.conf is obsolete

nscd is not installed, so /etc/nscd.conf not needed

/etc/profile.d/seamonkey what is it for ?
It contains export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/seamonkey

/etc/protocols-OLD is not needed
/etc/protocols can be simplified, no need for many protocols.

There is /root/.mprc, weird, it's owner/group is "ftp".

I searched what files belong to which group :
many files belong to guest ?
haldaemon : no files
netdev : no files
ppp : no files
sshd : no files
tape : no files
uucp : no files
nobody : /etc/cups/snmp.conf ?

Many unused groups . Same goes for users, but didn't have time to check all .

Incredible ! impossible to load Gnumeric

[linuxcbon]

Directory /home is needed to create a new user. For example :

[linuxcbon]

In groups, there is twice tty.
Users like fido should have home at /home/fido.
/etc/profile can be simplified down to PATH, PS1, umask
