I don't believe you. I have high end machines too... They all work. (About 25) Some took some effort, but only a few systems with old and cheap stuff. This is being typed on a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard with a Inetl Corei7 Quad core, and nVidia GTS250 graphics with 24 gig of ram. (Work system, so that is why the low end graphics) Worked out of the box with Lucid. I believe there is a lot more to your story. Like perhaps your "high end" stuff is the cheapest Chinese components you can source... And they don't have drivers? <shock> Those can take a bit more effort. Or perhaps the well known Intel i855 graphics chipset bug? (Fixed in Maverik, by the way) Only being willing to put an hour into learning a new system is not a bug we can easily patch. But if you want help, go ahead and e-mail me. I bet I can find drivers for much of your stuff. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
