What USB hardware does not work on Linux today? I have a bunch of USB devices that don't work on Windows, should that be an issue the other way around?
are you kidding?
can you quote me *any car GPS that works (update) on Linux? Garmin (tomtom), Alerte GPS (http://www.alertegps.com/), navigon? Can I use my Iphone or my Nokia or my Samsung cell phone?
I don't say it's Linux fault, of course. But I still have to keep Winwods for that (and even under VirtualBox, not all works)
any and every USB box have a cd with windows drivers (I don't speak about older devices, but I have a list of windows printers I have near me (LBP-800 laser)
Heck, we support USB 3.0 on Linux, while no other operating system does, is that a problem?
yes, right now there are no USB3 devices :-))
Again, specifics are important here, broad general statements like this fate entry will get no where as they are impossible to address.
We have to open the question. I'm willing to help, that is give as many infos I have, but I'm not a developper. I also know that the linux kernel is said to support each and any hardware (I always wonder in what world live some kernel developpers)

Hi I have a Garmin Nuvi 360w that works fine as a GPS device, press and hold the battery icon and turn on debug mode then plug it in works fine with a number of Linux applications eg tangogps, QLandkarte I have just built python-pytrainer on the openSUSE Build Service for our Garmin Forerunner 305 and that works perfectly via garmintools. I do use crossover for Garmin Mapsource though ;) The onlything I need to do is manually edit POI's if I want to add speed data etc, need to look at creating some sort of POI editor, but I don't do it that often to justify my time. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.27-0.2-default up 14 days 14:02, 6 users, load average: 0.26, 0.14, 0.10 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 260.19.26 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
