Drivers Articles

• Airport Extreme vs. Linux (Obsolete) Broadcom refused to release drivers or specs for the chipset, so for years no one could even write their own.
• Downgrading a Microsoft Surface Device to Windows 10 You can reinstall Windows on a Surface tablet or laptop using a hardware-specific recovery image and a USB drive. Microsoft will want you to log in and provide the serial number of the device you want to reinstall.
• Fedora 7 Problems With Glint Video Driver (Obsolete) Grab the Live CD first and make sure that all your hardware works properly. If not, see if the fix is available before you actually upgrade.
• NVIDIA on Fedora 27: Bad Resolution and Painful Mouse Lag (Fixed) (Obsolete) As of 2017, Wayland didn’t work with the binary NVIDIA drivers, and the system would lag painfully. If you tell GDM not to use Wayland, it will fall back to the older display system.
• NVIDIA/Nouveau picture extending beyond screen (Solved) After switching video drivers, my display extended past the edges of the screen. It turned out to be a monitor setting hidden by the old driver.
• Promise SX6000, FreeBSD, and Linux (Obsolete) If you want to build a Linux or FreeBSD system around a RAID array, don’t use the Promise SuperTrak SX6000 controller. At least not for now.
• Setting up a Wireless Network on Linux 2.6: Ralink 3062 and Network Manager (Obsolete) Wifi on Linux can still be a pain to get working. Here’s how I set up a Zonet ZEW1642 on Fedora 13 using the Ralink 3062 drivers.
• Wacom Registration error: “Profile ID Missing” (Solved) Uninstall and reinstall the drivers, or manually reload the registration page in your browser instead of following the link.
• Windows on MacBook Boot Camp Stops Connecting to External Displays Go into Device Manager and tell it to show hidden devices. There could be a broken display config interfering with the driver for the real adapter.
