Interestng! I have recently got the same mother board. This site of Intel's: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/index.htm tells about using Linux with the 845G series motherboards. As you will see from there, the situation regarding sound is presently not very hopeful -- you will have to get kernel v2.5.12. The same holds for video. On this front all is not lost, however, for the "vesa" driver should give reasonable results. You will presumably not be able to use the full capabilities of the Extreme Graphics hardware with this driver, though. (I presume you are using the on-board graphics card.)
If you wish to discuss more I'd be glad to, but I think we had better do that offlist. - Manas Laha Pinaki Ranjan Sarker wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have installed RH-8.0 in my machine.
