The Linux Incompatibility List

Posted by timothy on from the still-doesn't-work dept.

Jonathan Lassoff writes "The Linux Incompatibility list is a wiki project that attempts to document hardware that is incompatible with Linux rather than list what is compatible. In the wiki, it is possible to add alternitives so as to push hardware manufacturers to make good binary drivers, publish specifications, or even better, publish open drivers."

      I'm running an ATI Radeon 9200 at home, and it literally blows the socks off the Nvidia card I had at work.

      Literally, you say? Maybe the Nvidia card was clocking itself down because the socks were impeding heat dissipation.
