How do I tell the drivers I need for my hardware?

#1 Post by tryer »

How can I see in Puppy Linus the data of the hardware, so that I can find drivers and how should the drivers be installed ??

hi tryer,

g2's pup of the hardware lister, lshw, might be of use to you:

also, it might help if you say what hardware you're trying to get puppy to recognise, as maybe somebody else has been through the same problem before.

I found the videodriver. It is a Intel 82810E videocard. The driver is i810 carddriver. I 've downloaded the driver XFCCom i810-1.2-3.i386.rpm. I have downloaded it in dotpups-downloads (Thumbs). And now: How have I to handle installing this driver ?????

A good place to start - try using search tools !

Top of Forum pages: (example keyword, i810 > 126 matches )
Google: Linux i810 x-server > or hardware, using own specs from
manual/Google results of own computer data.
