researching h ware
I'm trying to find compatible hware cards that will work with Suse . any ideas?
|
What sort of thing... video, io board, usb device, PCMCIA, TV card, something else?
Name what you are considering, and I am sure if someone has a positive or negative story about it they will post. |
HW compatibility isn't mainly a distro but a Linux kernel thing. Besides that there's the LQ HCL http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/.
|
I'm looking at reusing my old cards and drives as much as possible.
I have a jazz and zip 100 scsi with adaptec interface card. what I'd like to find is video drivers for an asus 7100 video/tuner card, and drivers for a creative sb128 sound card. I'm using a amd550 cpu. Yeah I know it's a dinosaur. |
Linux is quite good with ancient HW so a quick grep in the kernel source should show if these are covered by any modules.
|
thanks, I'll try that.

Brand names like "Zip" and "Jazz" are easy to search for and will yield few results, OTOH "Adaptec" should turn up a lot of SCSI stuff and AFAIK ASUS doesn't make chip designs itself so if you know what chipset stuff uses (GeForce2 IIRC) it would be easier to look for.
