However, I've heard no reports of it working or not due to no-one having the necessary hardware to test it. Are you saying the latest versions still don't recognise it? What kernel version did you try ? regards, Davej. -- | Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.suse.de/~davej | SuSE Labs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

VIA cyrix III is a next generation IDT winchip (VIA bought both the winchip stuff and the Cyrix stuff). 2.2.18 should handle the winchip properly - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
cyrix III by via
I am not a subscriber to this list, but I thought this was important information (which you might already have). The cyrixIII chips by via have the centaur vendor id which causes the identify_cpu call in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c to fail. It is probably reasonable for it to have the centaur id as via owns centaur as well. I just replaced the centaur_model call with the cyrix_model one, but I know that I am using a cyrix chip. A test probably needs to be added in the centaur_model section to test for the cyrixIII in disguise. The error is a general protection fault.
