From ca65cb8962e1de7ddec4e117c381c0a2182b99bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyril Brulebois Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2023 05:31:33 +0100 Subject: Drop isenkram-cli section and reference. It was a welcome band-aid for Debian 11 (even if it required some heavy lifting to work correctly), but becomes unnecessary with Debian 12: we do have modalias information (as we did for Debian 11) and official installation images include non-free-firmware packages, so graphics drivers shouldn't be an issue anymore. --- en/hardware/hardware-supported.xml | 5 ---- en/using-d-i/loading-firmware.xml | 58 -------------------------------------- 2 files changed, 63 deletions(-) diff --git a/en/hardware/hardware-supported.xml b/en/hardware/hardware-supported.xml index 5b16c20de..fa536dceb 100644 --- a/en/hardware/hardware-supported.xml +++ b/en/hardware/hardware-supported.xml @@ -349,11 +349,6 @@ With many graphics cards, basic functionality is available without additional firmware, but the use of advanced features requires an appropriate firmware file to be installed in the system. -In some cases, a successful installation can still end up in a black -screen or garbled display when rebooting into the installed system.
