I gave simillar hardware (Compaq Evo). For a start, you'll need a newer kernel. I'd go with 2.4.24 (prefer ck patchset) or 2.6.1 for better support. If you can find a package for mandrake, good, otherwise it's a DIY. > I have the following problems: > > [1] No APM / ACPI Support: When removing the 'apm=off acpi=off' from the > 'append' line in /etc/lilo.conf the comp freezes after lilo prompt.

This is usually where AGP should be (like RS200 on mine). Maybe newer kernels will be better there. The last post on the IGP-340 bug in xfree's bugzilla (see answer to question 5) mentions that one. > [5] No Specific module for Graphics Chip: Runs well with bothe readon > driver from XFree86 and ATI bunduled, but no full screen with FBDEV. This is is the the most problematic. You can use the normal radeon driver for 2D. For 3D it is more problematic. There are patches in xfree-drm's cvs for that, but you'll need to build X, and it's still not working very well (or you can ask from someone to send you a binary driver for xfree 4.3, I don't have one, snooping around and asking in Gentoo's forums will probably dig one for you), just be sure to get AGP working. The 3D driver probably won't make it into xfree 4.4.0 release. Right now the closest esitmate is for 4.4.1, for more info: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314 > [6] USB: After mounting and writing to a USB-Storage device (DiskOnKey) > comp freezes.

Hadn't got the chance to test it. You can test it with pilot-link (since that's what kpilot relies upon) from the command line for more details. > Thanks, > > :====================================================:. > > Amichai Rotman > Cheers - -- Meir Kriheli MKsoft systems http://www.mksoft.co.il -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFABXHBRkS5DWK1mZkRAm3RAJ92ZnbEXJxcwDE7d7w5e87O8vQ7zwCgy0Cs R3S1qiidCR2boti18bnoggU= =hUJA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
