All that is "involved" is the fact that HAL is not doing anything with ISA so you have to add the line to your modprobe file on your own. That's a perfictly acceptable work-around.
Absolutely.
So, are we going too fast? Well, people with new hardware don't think so, as there is a constant pressure from them to support their new kit. But for older things, like ISA, the developers upstream simply do not even have access to it. I suggest offering them code or hardware to help change this.
We can certainly offer the hardware - can you suggest someone I might want to get in touch with?
The HAL project is located at: http://hal.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal I suggest you contact them.
Personally, I think the project is moving too fast when production hardware is being left behind.
Note, this is not something specific to opensuse, but to the whole Linux ecosystem. We are relying on a upstream development project here. So to single out opensuse is a bit unfair, you are going to have the same problem on gentoo or ubuntu or fedora too. thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
