the drivers all come with your nearest kernel source (and XFree86 server). the motherboard should "just work" with most standard kernels. i usually just compile in all those motherboard bug workarounds, and let the kernel work out which ones i actually needed. i'm guessing an SiS* graphics chip will use the "sis" XFree86 driver. from a very quick websearch (something you could have tried yourself), i think the ess1938 uses the "esssolo1" OSS driver. ALSA certainly has an explicit driver for it, if you choose to go that route. -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
