Much better than the current situation, thanks! I still thinks commands like perf report should not be overloaded for two different user interfaces, that is a perf report should always be the line oriented interface, and the newt UI should be something like perf treport Btw, am I the only one that doesn't find the next interface too helpful? In general the line oriented interface seem to present the information much better, and in the cases where it gets too complicated the newt interface doesn't really helper either. A real gtk/qt interface with a proper tree widget would seem like the more useful interface for that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
