I would like to suggest a campaign to produce free software based consumer
products such as digital audio players (e.g. supported by Rockbox), cameras
and laptops (e.g. supported by coreboot).
The FSF has a campaign for a free BIOS, but without a long list of people who
wish to purchase a
Such a list would be cool. One can only hope it would be reason enough for
the manufacturers to start producing hardware in cooperation with the
projects like coreboot or rockbox.
Great idea. How do we get started?
Just FYI AMD is starting to use coreboot on it's products
(http://blogs.amd.com/work/2011/05/05/an-update-on-coreboot/)
That's great news, now we only need a video card with fully free drivers that
will run on a board with an AMD CPU.
I hope that AMD accomplished to their promises this time, and like Cyberhawk
says, i hope that the next step be a video card that supports free drivers.
But with these companys no one knows...
have you tried on another computer?
