OLS: Open source graphics driversOLS: Open source graphics driversPosted Jul 20, 2006 16:50 UTC (Thu) by zooko (subscriber, #2589)Parent article: OLS: Open source graphics drivers
So where's the canonical web site that lists Free Software Friendly hardware? Note: not Linux-compatible hardware, not supported-when-used-with-Linux hardware, and not incompatible hardware (as per leenooks.org). I want a short, sweet, list of which models of hardware have open specs and Free Software drivers.
I know that linuxprinting.org does a fairly good job of this with respect to printers.

What I've learned from browsing that site is that Tyan is the only motherboard manufacturer who supports Free Software.

http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw
Unfortunately that list appears to be incomplete and slightly stale, to me. Perhaps we can help by sending suggestions to <hardware@fsf.org>?

an excellent question and one I would also like to see answered, specifically with respect to wi-fi pcmcia cards as i suspect my old Lucent/Orinoco card won't do well in the new 802.11g, etc. world ... it has been a while since i did much with public wireless networks ...
i want something that will work, out of the box, with free drivers ...
