Well look at your box and how many things ARE plugged into it and working. Hardware support is a constant game of catch-up, but for the most part Linux does catch up. For example the version of the pwc driver in current kernels doesn't work with my webcam, but the latest released pwc does... right now I have to cook it by hand but before long that will come into the default kernels and 'just work' too. For some USB memory devices I can even completely work with them in KDE. It really is getting there in general. > # uname -rmp > 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 i686 athlon > > bugzilla pretty much tells me that FC-4 holds no hope for improvement Update to FC4 with the latest kernel and see how the land lies: it's now based on 2.6.13 which has a lot of new stuff going on. Also tail -f /var/log/messages in a console while you try stuff related to drivers for clues. -Andy
