Agreed, but in the short-term a good table set-up on the Wiki would proably work until a better long term solution can be found. > I am just curious what the added value of such a page would be and if > there is not perhaps a better way to comunicate that your hardware does or > does not work.

Probably more helpful for the Dev's, say they've supposedly fixed a problem which manefests itself on specific hardware or a combination of hardware, they can look for a tester who has that configuration, and ask them to test it specifically - obviously it would need testing on other hardware as well to ensure that it didn't break anything else, but if the specific combination isn't available in the lab I think it might be useful... > Also perhaps the info is just needed if things don't work. > > houghi Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said.
