[ snipped Ujwal's life story ] Hang in there Ujwal! Lot of Linux user like myself and you have been burnt in the past but sometimes I failed to see that it was my own foolish mistake. With regards to drivers, bahhhhhh... what I can say? There are many thousand not supported outright by Linux. I mean device drivers. It's really hard if you don't have support so I suggest these if you haven't done so already - 1. Linux users mailing list - eg., Debian (lists.debian.org), Ubuntu (lists.ubuntu.com) users mailing list .... [distro which you use], device driver devel mailing list. 2. Online forums - linuxquestions.org for e.g., 3. IRC channels on efnet and freenode - [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4. Lastly Google is your friend :-) I am sure you'd find help if you just hang in there. Don't give up hope just yet! ;) And I agree totally regarding device drivers for Linux. need more device drivers.. but I guess that's not something we can do overnight. If companies could get foss developers to sign a NDA and the devel release a binary-only driver for some of the hard-to-find-devices, it could potentially solve the problem but who would listen user's voice? No one! And then also the whole OSS philosophy [only the source]. <sigh> Or, Ujwal, you could do the hacker way. ;) i.e., write a device driver yourself. I surely am going to start writing device drivers like Jwalanta in about 6 months time [after involving in OLPC]. Would surely love to learn from Jwalanta as well. -- Cheers, Bikal.
