I have 3 computers with the ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard in them. I have been running Mandrake 9.1 on them. Mandrake no longer supports this motherboard, with their 9.2 or 10.0 releases. This AMD type motherboard uses the VIA KT400 northbridge chip, the VIA 8235 southbridge chip, and the Analog Devices AD1980 codec for the sound comming off of the southbridge's AC'97 sound controller. Does anyone in the Debian community know if this combination of chips is supported by Debian linux or not. I have been considering switching to Debian for a long time, since Mandrake can never make a new release without hundreds of annoying bugs. I have heard that Debian does much more testing of new software and has much more stability in its official release versions than most other linux distributions. This is why I would like to switch to Debian. I am hoping that their is someone out there that has either used Debian on this exact motherboard, or one with the same chipset configuration. Also even with Mandrake 9.1 I had to purchase three licenses for the OSS sound system to get my Analog Devices AD980 chips to work. Any advice or first hand knowledge of these chipsets with Debian would be greatly appreciated.
