is there any tool(gui) like "Device Manager" in Windows ?

hwbrowser is a gui tool to show (just to show) the detected devices.

Shalom,

I use Alexander's solution.

Remote from Linux in GUI mode.

ssh -X hostname /usr/bin/hwbrowser

Requires root access. Roughly displays hardware. No changes possible from that interface.

on rh4 with hal, you'll also have hal-device-manager (it is an X app).
