SubjectRe: Hardware supported by the kernel
From
Date
If you use one monitor and VGA, yes. But then again, this is the 21st
century.

I'm using my G550 exclusively for Linux and 2D. And still I need a
proprietary binary module (but noone from LKLM cries wolf because it's a
user space module) to access the DVI-D ports and the second port.

Regards
Henning
