Group: Hardware/History/Directory Migration

The FSF Hardware directory is being phased out in favor of http://www.h-node.com/ The old directory was a useful resource, but having it maintained by a single person wasn't the most efficient process. The nice thing about h-node is that it is a community run effort, so you can join in and help. The old directory is not in an easy-to-parse format, and is missing some information that is necessary. If you would like to help with the migration, here is what you can do:

• First, get an account on h-node
• Next, find a device on the list below that has not been migrated over to h-node.
• Check to make sure that the device isn't already listed at h-node. If it isn't, then make a new entry.
• In order to make an entry on h-node, you'll need to get the vendorid and productid for the device. These pages can be a helpful resource for finding that information:
• http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids
• http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+laptop/wireless_driver_compatible_list
• Once you have the info, complete the entry on h-node. If the device has information on which distro/kernel it was tested on, make sure that is included as well. If there is no such information, list Gnewsense as the distro used to test.
• Make sure to update this wiki page to reflect that the device has now been migrated. If you are unable to migrate a particular device, update the page to state what you tried, and why you were not able to migrate the device.
• Also note that the wiki page is now split in to three sections: Hardware to Be Move, Hardware That Has Been Moved and Hardware With Unknown Vendor Id's.Please keep this in mind when moving entries in this wiki page.

video cards

Note: This page is not an exhaustive list. Also, some video cards may work with free software, but without 3D acceleration. This information should be considered very tentative -- we are doing our best to update it.

Intel Cards

Here's a list of the currently shipping graphics and memory controller hubs supported by free software:

• Intel Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
• Integrated Graphics Controller 82945G/GZ
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Intel 945G)
• Intel 865G
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3000 (Intel G965 Express Chipset)
• Intel Graphics Media Acceletator 3000 (Intel Q963, G963)
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 (Intel Q45 Express Chipset).

Some of these come in multiple packaging variants that append additional letters to the chipset name. Intel also builds northbridge chips without the graphics controller for servers and higher performance desktop systems. Look for the 'G' in the chipset number, or Graphics Media Accelerator in the family name.

Here are Intel's previous generations of graphics and memory controller hubs supported by free software:

• Intel 845G
• Intel i830
• Intel i815

These devices are known to not work with free software systems. They are on this list either because their required drivers are proprietary or unavailable for GNU/Linux, or because they rely on binary firmware.

printers

HPLIP The HPLIP project provides free software printer drivers for GNU/Linux machines. Here is a list of supported printers. Be careful using this list because a small percentage of these machines require proprietary firmware in addition to the free driver. Any printer with "yes" in the far right column requires a non-free "driver plug-in" and so could not be part of a fully-free system.

You might also find useful information at linuxprinting.org. Note that they list many printers that require nonfree software to work as well (but are compatible with GNU/Linux systems using proprietary drivers), so be careful.

If you have information about printers that work or don't work with free software, please let us know!

We have received reports from some users of gNewSense that they have had success with some of the following printers. Please note, these have not been tested in the FSF offices.

Brother HL-5280DW
