Smolt now has an integrated wiki (http://smolts.org/wiki/) and ratings

This is a great idea!
If you have hardware with issues and can
fix it, please fill in the relevant wiki page.
The options for hardware issues are:
I don't use this/I don't know
Breaks System
Doesn't Work
Requires 3rd Party Drivers
Works, but required aditional configuration
Worked out of the box
What if my video card works, but compiz isn't happy with it with our without
the 3rd party driver?
I'd say for you, put down 3rd party drivers then. We can look into how
many people have your card and rate it with the new driver or the old
one. And if the drivers have actual different names we can query that
as well.
What if my webcam works with a 3rd party driver but freezes intermittently.
"doesn't work"
What if my webcam works but has poor quality?
If you can configure it to work better then "Additional configuration
required" if not then I'd say "doesn't work" even if it sort of works.
There was actually a lot of discussion about how to ask for that stuff.
Keeping the options simple seemed to be the best option as going beyond
it we could easily make 20-30 icons. And since its stored individually
we can look and say "90% say this works out of the box 10% say it needs
3rd party drivers". The real cool parts come with the wiki. If you
have a card that doesn't just work, take the time to create a wiki page
for it. We'll have a scanner out soon so other people with your card
can see "Oh, this piece of hardware has errate for it at smolts.org" and
can then go get the details for themselves about exactly whats wrong
with it or how to fix it, see bugzilla, etc.
