Hi Gustin :) okay, thank you, I won't use 3D for a DAW Linux if this can cause troubles.

As I've written today. Everything seems to be fine for applications like Gimp, Icedove etc. and !!! also for Ardour. I just run into troubles with MIDI applications. And not to forget, all HDDs have a CHS/LBA inconsistency, also virgin drives. Anyway, I also need a NVidia if I'll get another motherboard for my AMD CPU, I can't change to Intel. I'll clutch at straws. Maybe we have different revisions of the M2A-VM HDMI. I'll first buy a NVidia card and the month after, if needed a new mobo, if there will be one with AM2 socket and I'll have enough money. > In the future I will stay far away from AMD, there are better options > out there now that Intel has seen the FLOSS light. > > I had some promising results with a 2.6.26.x kernel that ships with the > systemrescuecd. You may wish to try compiling the latest stable kernel > from kernel.org. The 2.6.24 series is mostly useless with this hardware. I've got a cold and not much to do, so I can compile a 2.6.26 with rt patch. The problems with MIDI applications are the same with 2.6.24 rt for 64 Studio and 2.6.25 rt for Suse. I didn't compile 2.6.26 because 'all' people say it's not fine for DAWs. Which BIOS did you use? My actual M2A-VM HDMI is 2001 BIOS. There's one newer version, 2101 BIOS, I'll get it today or tomorrow. I think you have the 2101. Thank you for the bad news :D. Cheers, Ralf
