Re: FW: [WEB400] New midrange.com list: LinuxDesktop4i

Well, Fedora 11, like I said, supports my ATI card without additional software. That certainly wasn't the case with Fedora 9. I had to switch to the nVidia Geforce with Fedora 9 to get the full resolution of 1680x1050 that my monitor had.

Broadcom wireless chips for one. Dell uses broadcom wireless chips for their in house label ... and the only way to get those to work is to use ndiswrapper.

Many video cards cause problems also. ATI& NVidia both require you to jump through hoops to get their proprietary drivers to work. Ubuntu has addressed this pretty well, but Fedora certainly hasn't.
