great! got the 3com card working but everytime i reboot i have to keep running 'make load' or 'insmod 3c2000' to make it work, no train smash but its workable nonetheless. im looking now to the 'ethernet how-to' to figure out how to make it load with modules.conf
got the radeon 9800 working too but without any 3d acceleration and unfortunately screen fonts dont look too nice, very jagged edges and antialiasing doesnt work with the fonts in the YaST control panel appy. once again no biggy but reading webpages is a pain. i tried suse 9.0 evaluation earlier and it plays nicely with the 3com nic, and it 'appears' to like the radeon until X is loaded then all X hell breaks loose. its really not the hardware at all, i feel that given some time all this so-called new H/W (radeon, SATA, p4 HT cpu etc) will become generic and every distro of linux will work hundreds with them. -j- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Monk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 3:43 PM Subject: Re: (clug-talk) suse 8.2 ... again I think at the very least you need the latest xfree 4.3.0...? I seem to remember something about that for the later Radeon cards when trying to get my IGP320m working on my laptop. try looking uo xfre.org and googling for xfree & radeon 9800 etc Graham On Tuesday 21 October 2003 21:52, you wrote: > hi all, > > i'm having loads of fun messing around with suse but i'm having 2 minor > problems which i can't resolve. > > 1 - i cant get the 3d acceleration to work with the ATI radeon 9800 pro, > any configuration changes simply don't work, i've followed ATI's linux > driver instructions down to the 'T' and i'm having no joy. > 2 - i cant get the 3com gigabit nic (3c2000) to work which is integrated > onto the P4C800 mobo, once again following the instructions perfectly but > no hope in sight. > > *official* support from suse/ati/3com do not exist for the problem's im > experiencing so i'm almost at the point of doing something rather rash. > > if anyone has had experience in installing the 3d component of the radeon > series, PLEASE i ask for your help! > > other than that any suggestions will be very much appreciated. > > thanks > > -j-
