Quoted from pinballinreno:Yes, i fully admit that I should be better at linux, but the OS is designed not to be hardware specific.
At least that's what was mentioned in the past.
The 7.01 update would have an updated kernal for newer hardware.
At least that's how I read it.
All OSes use drivers, that doesn't mean it is hardware specific. The only hardware specific mainstream OS is OSX, all flavors of GNU/Linux, Windows are all non-hardware specific.
But of course that doesn't mean the OS can magically infer what new or proprietary hardware is or is capable of doing. "Drivers" is just an easy word for code that tells the OS what it can and can't do with a device.
