Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
You have to admit that, from a hardware support point of view, Linux still sucks.

Thank you Faust. I do know what Google is so no need to act all superior.
If you cared to look beyond what your precious Google produces in results and actually *read* what the sites say then you wouldn't have posted these url's here because what can be found there does not work.
The Sourceforge url will have support for Mandrake 9.1 starting from version 0.5.5. The latest available is 0.5.2.
I could insert a dodgy comment here about elementary school, where you learn to read but then ... I'm passed that age.
How old are you anyway ?
emh:
You could also just get another video card.
And don't just assume none of your other hardware will work just because you had the bad luck of having one of the few video cards out there that happens not to work with Linux out of the box.

Well, I would be grateful if I got help, so far I got nothing working.
Buying a new videocard ? Give me a break, it works fine under another OS. What else ? Get a new processor, new scanner, throw away my digital camera ? No thanks, I'm keeping what I have.
Calling someone who needs help an asshole is *really* mature. Thanks for that. Makes the introduction into the world of Linux so much nicer.

You people have steered off topic a lot. M505 check those sites in my sig. We'd be really happy to help you. ;)
Closing this..

i am sorry, this epitomises idiocy.
person one asks question: how can i...?
person two answers: well, you could try...
now there are two ways the discussion could now go, here's the first one -
person one: thanks, i will try those
...(later on that same day)...
person one: thanks for those suggestions, one/all/none of them worked for me
OR here's the second one:
person one: how dare you tell me to try something? i asked a question and i have a right to an answer! your answer is not good enough you open source slime, now can anybody give me a better answer because i am much better than anyone here and i deserve to be handed the worlds riches on a plate. hurry up, i'm getting impatient.
Now for those of you who are a little slow on the uptake, this:

is an example of the second scenario.
It's fairly obvious to me that there are a lot of complete arseholes in the world. It is also completely obvious to me that there is a lot of overpopulation and overcrowding in the world. Put two and to together and you might figure out what i think we should do with all the arseholes (hint, it involves the atlantic and no lifebelts).
suselinux:
If I ask a question I want as much feed back as I can get
"Try this or try that" would be equal to "do this or do that" as far as I'm concerned.
I don't care how I get it I just want the info.
If I can't use your info one app I might try those same directions on another.
Thats the fun thing about Linux, there is always something new to TRY and get working
using the app is only half the fun
A true Linux user can't disagree with that.
