Great. So, go help build or resurrect a site which will help users co-ordinate their testing results for their hardware! > This should be a reasonable request - the developers should know >against which hardware they test, what passes and what fails. The Hmm. Unfortunately the developers can only test on the one or two pieces of hardware that they use. I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to personally collaborate testing results from potentially thousands of users. Maybe 20 users say "it works perfectly", when what they mean is "stereo output at 44kHz is audible when connected to the speaker out, I haven't exhaustively tested everything else". >middle section, the best-guess list, would probably be the >hardest.

As long as it's a PCI card, `lspci'. I usually then just google for the device ID :) (`lspci -n' will not convert the ID to a name). There isn't a 1<->1 correspondance between device IDs and chipsets, but usually you'll find your answer from there. -- Sam Vilain, [EMAIL PROTECTED] To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target.
