Are there more hardware controller drivers coming?

ServoMaster: Frequently Asked Questions
Actually, quite a few. The Pololu controller family driver is already usable, and Parallax controller family is a few days away, but it's been extremely difficult to find those few days to finish it. Then, there's one in the queue (1-Wire® based servo controller which is pretty close to my ideal servo controller).

Why Am I Being Asked To Install Drivers for New Hardware?

Live View - FAQ
Operating Systems typically install drivers for the specific set of hardware on which the OS was originally installed. Similar to taking the disk out of one system and booting it up inside a system with different hardware, a virtual machine's virtual hardware will not often match the hardware on which the system was originally installed. For this reason, the OS will attempt to install the missing drivers for that new hardware.

Can I use Wine to install drivers for my hardware?

No. With the possible future exception of some printer drivers, Wine requires your hardware to already be working on your operating system. The technical reason for this is that Wine, like most applications, runs in user mode and not kernel mode.

Do all device drivers come installed with the xbox or just the factory's hardware specific ones?

Talk:FAQ - Xbox-Linux
Drivers for what? The kernel supplied with the XBox Linux distros from this site have drivers for all of the hardware built into the XBox, as well as for most basic accessories (keyboards, mice, flash cards, USB hubs, etc.). If you want to connect something more interesting to your XBox, like a webcam, TV tuner, or printer, you'll have to see if a Linux driver even exists for the device, then figure out if any of the distros here were compiled with that driver.

Where can I get replacement hardware?

FAQ: Questiions about Soundcard and Audio Interface Drivers
Your computer comes with audio drivers that are part of the operating system. Those are the ones you do NOT want to use (unless you have a Mac with OS X.) You install the drivers that come on CD from manufacturers and then update them at their sites. These end up in one of your Windows system directories and then are selected inside your software application. Note that simply installing the driver is not enough. You also have to select it inside of Sonar, Cubase, Fruity Loops or whatever.

Why don't you submit your Redhat rpms into the Fedora project?

Frequently Asked Questions
This will probably happen in the future. I started making the rpms for libferris' dependancies well before Fedora started. There are many rpms that I have for the dependancies for libferris and it will take a while to feed them into the mainline Fedora project. The other point to note is that time spent packaging is time not spent coding and I tend to prefer the latter.

What architectures will be supported by The Fedora Project?

Info Kairali - Linux - Fedora Project
Red Hat will initially focus on the x86 family of architectures. Red Hat may also choose to build Fedora Core for other architectures, and in doing so will focus on architectures in which it has a business interest. This will make it easier to identify and fix bugs; the sooner they are found, the easier it is to isolate the change that caused the bug and therefore the easier it is to fix. Other community members are welcome to participate in building for other architectures.
