Hi there everyone,
There was a previous discussion about Lisa Simpson's problem with her
Tomato T810B which has an i810 chipset. I was just wondering Lisa, how's
your motherboard doing? Would you mind letting the list (or even just me
personally, if you'd prefer) know about how Linux is doing with it? Have
you gotten X up and running? Up to what color depth and resolution? Have
you gotten your sound working? Is the system stable?
Also, I quote one of Orly's helpful replies:
>Ahh, yes. That's an Intel i810 main board (one of the crappiest main
>boards in existence, I hope you don't mind my saying).
I presume that Orly can say this because our resident hardware expert
(hehehe) has already had experience with this crappy board. I'm in need of
a cheap board, and my supplier recommended the Tomato T810B-S, which also
has an integrated soundcard (an AC97 2.1 Compliant Code with 3D Stereo
Enhancement, the website calls it). I was hoping Orly (and some other
people who have had experiences with the T810B-S and/or the i810 chipset)
could help me out because I need a cheap box, but I need a cheap box with
Linux up and running with a decent X setup and sound. Perhaps you can
recommend a better board within the same price range? Or perhaps you could
let me know at least what works and what doesn't as far as this crappy
board is concerned?
I also hope you all don't mind my asking about UltraATA/66 controllers and
Linux support ... is there anything fishy I should know about setting
these up for optimal performance?
Hope you can help me out! Muchos gracias! :-)
