Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO Steven Pritchard Southern Illinois Linux Users Group ( / K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO Steven Pritchard Southern Illinois Linux Users Group (http://www.silug.org/) / K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc. (http://www.kspei.com/) [email protected] 3.2.4 Copyright © 2001-2007 Steven Pritchard Copyright © 1997-1999 Patrick Reijnen 2007-05-22 This document attempts to list most of the hardware known to be either supported or unsupported under Linux. 1. Introduction This document lists most of the hardware components (not whole computers) known to be supported or not supported under Linux, so reading through this document you can choose the components for your own Linux computer and know what to avoid. As the list of components supported by Linux changes constantly, this document will never be complete. If a component is not mentioned in this HOWTO, I simply have not found support for the component and nobody has told me about support. Subsections titled ’Alpha, Beta drivers’ list hardware with alpha or beta drivers in varying degrees of usability. Note that some drivers only exist in alpha kernels, so if you see something listed as supported but isn’t in your version of the Linux kernel, upgrade. 1.1. Notes on binary-only drivers Some devices are supported by binary-only modules; avoid these when you can. Binary-only modules are modules which are compiled for ONE kernel version. The source code for these modules has NOT 1 Hardware-HOWTO been released. This may prevent you from upgrading or maintaining your system. It will also prevent you from using the component on alternate (usually non-x86) architectures. Linus Torvalds says “I allow binary-only modules, but I want people to know that they are _only_ ever expected to work on the one version of the kernel that they were compiled for.” (See http://lwn.net/1999/0211/a/lt-binary.html for the rest of the message.) 1.2. Notes on proprietary drivers Various proprietary drivers for sound, video, etc. exist for Linux. Tracking these proprietary drivers is beyond the scope of this document. These drivers might be mentioned at various points in this document, but note that no effort has been made to make sure that this information is current. 1.3. System architectures This document primarily deals with Linux for x86-based platforms. For other platforms, check the following: • Alpha (http://www.alphalinux.org/) • ARM (http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/) • CRIS (Axis Communications ETRAX 100LX embedded CPU) (http://developer.axis.com/) • IA-64 (http://www.linuxia64.org/) • m68k (http://www.linux-m68k.org/) • MIPS (http://www.linux-mips.org/) • PA-RISC (http://www.parisc-linux.org/) • PowerPC (http://www.penguinppc.org/) • S/390 (http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/) • SuperH (http://www.linux-sh.org/) • SPARC (http://www.ultralinux.org/) There are also the ELKS (http://elks.sourceforge.net/) and uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org/) ports, which are forks of the mainstream kernel source designed for MMU-less (mostly very low-end and embedded) systems. 1.4. Related sources of information • The LDP has an index of hardware-related HOWTO documents (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/hardware.html). 2 Hardware-HOWTO • Price Watch (http://www.pricewatch.com/) (street price search engine, also useful for finding specs on various bits of hardware) • Guide to Computer Vendors (http://guide.sbanetweb.com/) 1.5. Known problems with this document This document can’t possibly be up-to-date at all times. I would like to see this document be a useful reference again. The following items need to be fixed for that to happen: • Old cruft needs to be eliminated. Much of this document was written in 1995, give or take, when PCI was new and not supported terribly well, and ISA PnP was seen as something evil. Oh, how the times have changed... Also, many of the model numbers listed in this document are no longer available, and are probably not of much interest to the vast majority of people. Personally, I think hardware that hasn’t been available for more than 5 years or so can safely be removed. Old versions of this document will always be available on the Internet... • URLs in this document need updating. I’ve begun to do that, but it is a big job... Diffs are welcome. • In the process of updating and converting this document to DocBook, some cruft was introduced. If anyone wants to help clean up this, get the latest source (preferably by emailing me at <[email protected]>) and grep for "FIXME". • Lists in this HOWTO that are available in other HOWTOs or FAQs need to be either updated here or dropped completely from this document. • Newer interfaces such as USB need to be added into the list. (Would a USB-attached hard drive go under "USB", "Removable drives", "Hard drives", or all of the above?) • And, of course, random hardware that just isn’t listed in this document needs to be added. All of this is going to require a lot of work. If this happens to interest you, please email <[email protected]>. I can use the help. :-) 1.6. New versions of this document The latest version of this document can be found on the Linux Documentation Project home site (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html) or any of its many mirrors. 3 Hardware-HOWTO 1.7. Feedback and corrections If you have questions or comments about this document, please feel free to email Steven Pritchard at <[email protected]>. I also welcome corrections and additions. At some point in the near future, I plan to set up a web interface for adding components to this document. In the mean time, please just use the word "hardware" somewhere in the subject when sending corrections or additions. 1.8. Acknowledgments This document has passed through many hands. I don’t know if he wrote the first version, but in 1993 Ed Carp was maintaining it. In August of 1994, FRiC (Boy of Destiny) took over. After he fell off the face of the planet in late 1995 or early 1996 (and we all miss him from IRC, I might add), Patrick Reijnen took over (sometime in 1997) and continued to maintain this document until late 1999. Recent versions of this document contained the following: Thanks to all the authors and contributors of other HOWTO’s, many things here are shamelessly stolen from their works; to FRiC, Zane Healy and Ed Carp, the original authors of this HOWTO; and to everyone else who sent in updates and feedbacks. Special thanks to Eric Boerner and lilo (the person, not the program) for the sanity checks. And thanks to Dan Quinlan for the original SGML conversion. Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this document over the years. In addition, I’d like to thank the many members of the Southern Illinois Linux Users Group (http://www.silug.org/) and the Linux Users of Central Illinois (http://www.luci.org/) for giving me so many interesting problems to solve over the years, and, of course, my wife Kara for putting up with me all these years. :-) 1.9. Revision History The following is the revision history of this document since I (Steven Pritchard) took over maintenance. Revision History Revision 3.2.4 2007-05-22 Revised by: sjp Fixed or removed a ton of bad links. (Fix SANE links. Fix tuxmobile.org link. Drop outdated links to network card drivers. Replace links to dandelion.com with dandelion.sourceforge.net. Probably others I’ve forgotten...) Drop some old notes on proprietary X servers. Add a link to the Linux Incompatibility List. Update links to CD/DVD burning applications. Revision 3.2.3 2005-07-12 Revised by: sjp Fix link for AlphaLinux project. Add some laptop notes. Add information about the 3ware 9000-series cards. Revision 3.2.2 2004-01-30 Revised by: sjp Opteron/Athlon64 information added. Fixed up some of the video card entries. Add notes about 3ware 8000-series cards, SATA, and the WD drive "configuration update". Revision 3.2.1 2002-11-12 Revised by: sjp Replaced "commercial" with "proprietary" in most cases. (I should probably go one more step and make that "proprietary, closed-source" or something similar. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.) Added placeholder IEEE 1394 section. Updated various other sections. Thanks to Rick Moen for prompting this revision with various updates and suggestions. Revision 3.2.0 2002-08-13 Revised by: sjp Removed a lot of cruft.

    Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 The X.OrgFoundation The XFree86 Project, Inc. 9February 2005 Abstract These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R6.8.2 release. It is based on the XFree86 4.4RC2 RELNOTES docu- ment published by The XFree86™ Project, Inc. Thereare significant updates and dif- ferences in the X.Orgrelease as noted below. 1. Introduction to the X11R6.8.2 Release The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system. X11refers to the ver- sion of the network protocol that the X Window system is based on: Version 11was first released in 1988 and has been stable for 15 years, with only upwardcompatible additions to the coreX protocol, a recordofstability envied in computing. Formal releases of X started with X version 9 from MIT;the first commercial X products werebased on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors, the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.OrgGroup released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6, beforethe founding of the X.OrgFoundation. Therewill be futuremaintenance releases in the X11R6.8.x series. However,efforts arewell underway to split the X distribution into its modular components to allow for easier maintenance and independent updates. We expect a transitional period while both X11R6.8 releases arebeing fielded and the modular release completed and deployed while both will be available as different consumers of X technology have different constraints on deployment. Wehave not yet decided how the modular X releases will be numbered. We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to bugzilla.freedesktop.orgusing the xorgproduct, and discussions on this server take place on <[email protected]>.
