My old(3 years now) Dell Precision M4300 is working like a charm. If the idea seems great, it just not working. For example, Having buy 2 HP laptops for customers at 6 months interval, they don't have the same component inside (wifi chipset is not the same, also sound etc) So for the same model, one is working out of the box, the order needs more works. What we say to people ? Same maintaining wiki pages by hands is just a future fail ! That's what's happen with the old one. The only way to achieve that cross-bordering distribution is the smolt project which normally is installed by default on opensuse. for example : http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_222050c1-f65c-46c2-b75b-c0d36c63a4af All the hardware inventory is automatically/auto-magically done You just have to validate the different parts just try it with smoltGui on your own computer For example what I've with my Dell http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_caa64eca-6d8c-4abd-a61e-93d7fbfa1d48 And if you click on the model, you will see http://www.smolts.org/reports/view_profile/Precision%20M4300 165 unrated profiles, also you can check by distribution, version etc. I would said, that if we want to have a database hardware, we should only make marketing about the smolt project and work together with them. Stop reinventing the wheel, especially a squared one :D Apart Kim : your trouble are certainly related to the non-yet-working radeon drivers which forget to start to fan for gpu.
