Actually, to be fair, one can, and has done for at least a couple of years
now.  I've used it to do such things as compile a hardware list to ease my
transition to Linux, and also to turn off the glide mouse thingy on my
laptop, you know, the thing that uses your finger, sleeveor whatever comes
into contact with the pad as a pointer, and whose left and right buttons
(yes, I know, why two buttons?) are in just the place where they're likely
to get pressed when you least want/need.

I'll agree with you about dmesg, much nicer.

Cheers.
