supported cards are listed on www.xfree86.org
check their supported cards list. Whether yours is supported will depend upon
the version of your xserver and some other tweaking that you may have to do to
get your Intel card working properly. I dunno but I guess your motherboard is
probably using the i810 chipset?

I downloaded the winlinux2000 demo version to try it out before I
purchased anything. It would not detect my video card so I had to "force"
set it under standard vga. (My video card is a standard xf86_SVGA intel
chipset driver. The picture was absolutly lousy and broken up. I searched
for a different card/driver that would be compatible but was informed that
my card was probably intregrated into my mother board. ( I have a HP
XE743) Now this machine is a cheaper product I know, however it is fairly
new and I would like to run Linux without going off and buying another
system. Is it possible? Are there any Linux programs that will run on my
computor? I only found 1 intel video card on the acceptables list for auto
configuration in linux 2000. Does this apply to all linux or just
winlinux2000?
Any answers will be greatly appreciated

Ladies, Gentlemen,
I have just ordered a new system, as described:
1. Athlon 1000, Thunderbird,
2. Gigabyte GA-7ZM,
3. 20-gig, UDMA 66 hard drive,
4. Ricoh combi CD-rewriter and DVD-player,
5. 32Mb Riva TNT video card.
Now, I've had some experience of Linux in the past, and it's caused me a
lot of *pain* (mainly of my own making, by trying to do thing like
making win-printers work with Linux).
I'll be ready to give Linux another try on the new system soon, but the
question I would ask of you is, is there a distro that would run out-of-
the-box on this hardware? If not, I think I'll have to wait until there
is, whenever that that might be (if ever).
Regards and best wishes,
Nick.

Go to http://linux.nf/stepbystep.htm there is a section in there about
RAID. While you're there, bookmark that site. It's very valuable.

Ok, That works, I've downloaded the src package and the making process goes

But when the driver is loaded, I get a segmentation fault...
Any idea?

Hello,
I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers for my tnt2 ultra. (I

them from www.nvidia.com)
But when I do a 'rpm -Uvh NVIDIA-kernel-i386.rpm' I get a message saying
that the package needs kernel 2.2.0 or above, but I us 2.2.5!
What could be the problem? should I update any other libs?
I have SUSE 6.0 with only the kernel updated (2.2.5)
Thanx,
Floris
The source code needs a kernel 2.2.0 or above but the binary rpm is for
one release of kernel only and as compiled by Redhat (6.1 or 6.2, don't
remember). If you have an other release/compilation, you need to
download the source rpm and follow the procedure described in the FAQ.
This is rather easy to do.

I'm using Linux Mandrake 7.1 and really would like to get my soundcard
working. Here is what happens:
I enter Hard Drake and find my soundcard (SB Live) and press the test
button. The .WAV (of a guy who's barely understandable) comes on with
no problems. Upon hitting Ok, I get the following message:
===
sox: Can't open output file '/dev/dsp': No such device

I've checked my /dev directory, and the device does exist there. The
permissions and details on the file are:

If anyone can help point me in the right direction, it would be greatly
appreciated.

I'm running my K6-2 450 on an FIC PA-2013 revision 2 board with one
meg cache. But if I had to do it again, I would more than likely pick
up an Epox EP-MVP3G2. FIC's tech support leaves a lot to be desired,
while I've heard nothing but good things about Epox and their
products.
Mind you, I have no complaints about my board...I just think that FIC
is a little screwy in general. :) My 450 is running great @ 112 x 4
(448).
Here's the spec page for the Epox board:

have fun let us know what you decide!

You should have spent some time reading these newsgroups instead
of fiddling with your winmodem. There are about 10 messages
a day which state that winmodems don't work, and can't be made
to work, under Linux (unless the manufacturer supplies a Linux
driver or interface specs, which none do at present).

I can't imagine why it would matter. Use the standard CD-ROM if you can,
it's almost certainly much faster.
Does anyone know whether this CD-RW will work under linux (I can't find any
specific information in any of the FAQs). If it doesn't work, can I still
use it to read CDs, as I am not too bothered about writing CDs from linux?
I have a Creative 4224 Blaster CD-RW on this system, and it works fine. If
2224 isn't a typo for this model, though, I can't help you.

Well I have a SIS 620 , which is pretty similar, kinda needed more
information, do you get this error when you try to go into 16, 24, and 32
bit modes ? or is this just 8 bit mode ?
