This must be one of those Socket 7 boards with the VIA MVP4
chipset. Comes with integrated sound (Apollo Super AC97) and
video (Trident Cyberblade).
You need at least XFree86 4.0.x to get decent X performance.
I've tried 3.3.6 (stock RedHat) on an MSI-5187 (has the same VIA
chipset) and it was slow. I can make 4.0.2 RawHide RPMS built on
RedHat 6.2 available if you're interested.
If you also want to make the sound card work, you'll need the
ALSA drivers.
