something like this?

http://img253.echo.cx/img253/9342/zwischenablage023cc.jpg

the link to the howto article is maybe important because, when he done like this link and failed the old hand could say that is not the fault of bsd.

cheers :oops:

[Valio]

Good idea Dingens


Was thinking that FAQ's layout could do also, "PC-BSD - Installation" will be replaced to "Graphic cards" etc

[Dingens]

i will do a brainstorming ....

[doupp]

I'm currently building some prototype PHP scripts for this purpose as well as package submission. Stay tuned.

[Valio]

Updated

[pcbsdusr]

Let's do it this way temporarily...

:arrow: Make this Thread a stickie (with the newer posts coming first)

:arrow: Each user copies valio's first thread to it's post and adds his hardware if not present already

:arrow: If some comment is needed, it should be added after the hardware device between commas

Example:

"Mouses:

Microsoft usb mouse
Logitech MX310 usb mouse (only right, left buttons and scroll work. the three extra buttons dont work)"


What do you guys think?

Cheers!

Renato

[Charles]

I think it would be better to post these details in the knowledge database:
http://www.pcbsd.org/faqs/index.php?sid ... show&cat=5 (http://www.pcbsd.org/faqs/index.php?sid=7867&lang=en&action=show&cat=5)

There are the compatible and incompatible hardware databases :wink:

[Valio]

Let's transfer to there then :)





:oops:

[Valio]

I was thinking should there be sub-menu at Hardware issues like 0.7.5

[Valio]

I'll be updating this thread still, but i'll stop when these appear to FAQ


ok guys/girls gimme some info :)

If I could get my internal and external Iomega zip drives working it would be a cleansweep. I'll report on my laptop from it later.

EDIT: Microsoft Natural Pro (ergonomic layout) keyboard works too. Has a USB and a serial connection on it.

ok installed 0.7.5 on my notebook too:

Btw, i didnt add your FX5200 as its listed already, but do you know who's the manufacturer? then i could add it :)

[Valio]

By the way, any changes with the new version?

I havent had any hardware issues so to say. The Sony DVD-rom does support burning both CDs and DVDs, however the speed of CD burning doesnt get past 26x, and this is under K3B.

I'll post my laptop when I can find a spare hard drive.
