Playing around with Meego - Perhaps a source for eeepc linux drivers

(1/2) > >>

I've been playing around with Meego and poking around in the file structure. I noticed there are some  drivers that might be nice to have available in tc.

See attached dmesg output.

edit : this was for a eeepc 900a - I also attached the tc3alpha 5 dmesg, they are similar but there some differences.

curaga:
Which drivers do you mean?

I mainly saw bluetooth, wireless, and graphics, all of which are available in extensions.

Yes those plus I suppose the intel ethernet and acpi  drivers would complete the set.

I thought  Meego had some optimized drivers and that the tc extensions were more generic.

Yes, so highly optimised for intel that it won't run on AMD chips.  And I'm not sure if that's drivers that can be plucked out and dumped in another OS as much as the entire kernel.

I wonder how we could test if they could be used?
