Why can't free software lead to hardware innovation?

In the past few years we’ve seen a lot of hardware-based innovation (or at the very least expansion). New products and markets have arisen built around hardware and its use. Smartphones, tablets, netbooks and gaming systems are all examples of markets that have expanded and some if not most of the products make use of free software. This is great but why does it seem to be that the free-software products are second-generation, playing catch up. Where is the device innovation driven by free software?

How to install Ubuntu 10.04 on Thinkpad x201

Keywords

thinkpad, x201, 10.04, lucid, blank screen, black screen, install, suspend, change brightness

Summary

As of August 2010, installing 10.04 on a ThinkPad x201 is non-trivial. The fixes have been worked out in many different forums, but I thought there might be value added in consolidating the process in one place. I'll try to present every step simply, since more experienced users probably don't need this HOWTO in the first place. If I miss any steps, or explain anything wrong, please let me know.

This is for everyone who owns an Acer laptop with this webcam. How long have you gone without being able to record video? Does YouTube's "Record from webcam" feature not even work for you? Taking pictures worked fine for me, but it always the video that was messed up.

Hello everyone!

Thought I'd share my success in installing and configuring my new MX340 printer on Lucid 64 bit.

As we all know or heard of, canon does support linux .deb and .rpm driver packages but only for the 32 bit platforms.

Forgive me in advance if this is already been done in some dark forgotten depth of the forum, but I never came across a complete clear How to for doing this so I will contribute.

So here's the deal, You have a web cam on your Linux Ubuntu box, And all applications like Cheese and whatnot all work fine with your web cam, but then the one application where it really counts for you, Doesn't..
