hwinfo is the hardware detection tool used in SuSE Linux.
In Debian-Edu (Skolelinux) hwinfo has shown better results than discover when detecting mouse, keyboard and monitor.
hwinfo is collecting information about the hardware installed on a system. Among others, libhd contains information about cdrom, zip, floppy, disks and partitions, network card, graphics card, monitor, camera, mouse, sound, pppoe, isdn, modem, printer, scanner, bios, cpu, usb, memory and smp.
This package does not include the binaries hwscan, hwscand and hwscanqueue. If you think one or more of these should be included in the package, please contact the maintainer at hwinfo@packages.debian.org. This version of hwinfo is compiled static because of upstream's way of maintain the otherwise shared library in the hwinfo package.

We know that by far not all debian packages are klik-able yet. But we believe they should be ;-)
