Linuxant releases DriverLoaderLinuxant releases DriverLoaderPosted Oct 13, 2003 20:21 UTC (Mon) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510)In reply to: Linuxant releases DriverLoader by dambacher Parent article: Linuxant releases DriverLoader I did this once. It was called openhardware.org . I got too busy and turned it over to someone else. It didn't quite fly. Now they seem to have lost the domain and it's selling watches. But I think perhaps we could start this up again and be more successful this time. Bruce

Linuxant releases DriverLoader Posted Oct 14, 2003 5:22 UTC (Tue) by coriordan (guest, #7544) [Link] hmm, I read all their pages, but I still don't know what they are going to certify :) hardware for which the producer (or third party hackers?) provides: specs? drivers? Free Software drivers? They claim backing from a lot of big hardware manufacturers though, so I hope it goes somewhere good.As a note, the idea Georg discusses sounds impractical to me. Maintaining such a database would be a full time job. But the direction is interesting. A chart where people could check "is card X supported by Linux and XFree86" would be great and should be maintainable. (ps/OT glad to hear you're doing something on the GFDL/FSF/Debian issue, hope it goes well.)
