Well, as a LINUX desktop user for 10 years and professional Systems Administrator for 17 years.... I'd be very grateful for "some half-baked compatibility matrix". Currently the state of debugging / diagnosing display issues for the end user is just this side of 'impossible'. Would be a dream come true to have a site where you copied the string from lspci output, enter your software version(s), and check a few boxes as to what does work / doesn't work / you-haven't-tried. And make it searchable. The true problem is the above would only be useful if a large number of people used it [entered their data]. Creating a centralized repository of anything is something Open Source has demonstrated it cannot accomplish. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
