hi,
i hope that rhl 8.1 (2003) can handle this hardware while *installation*
and please `mike harris`, no flames `nvidia, only binary, not a bug, ...`
knoppix and suse can handle the gpu!
nforce - gpu (geforce 2, onboard):
knoppix 3.1beta (2002-09-10)
no problems
suse 8.1 (2002-09-27)
no problems
rhl 8.0 (2002-09-30)
the installation is only possible in text-mode,
while testing X (anaconda, redhat-config-xfree86), the sytem
hangs absolutely
no keyboard, no input, no output, really nothing! only
reset-button is my friend
redhat-config-xfree86 --set-driver nv / no chance, reset-button!
redhat-config-xfree86 --set-driver nvidia
after installation of nvidia_kernel / nvidia_glx; 3123 :-) gcc3.2
2960 :-( gcc2.x
`make && make install`
the first time i can see gnome 2.x on rhl 8.0
the first time i *will* use `redhat-config-xfree86` on gui-mode, a
nice and powerfull tool ;-)
nforce - nvaudio (i810 compatible, onboard):
knoppix 3.1beta
no problems
suse 8.1
no problems
rhl 8.0
`sndconfig --noprobe` -> i810 was my friend
wrong entry in `/etc/modules.conf`, "sound-slot-1 i810_audio"
nforce - nvnet (onboard):
knoppix 3.1beta
no
suse 8.1
no
rhl 8.1
no
nforce_1.0-0241 works on rhl 7.2 and limbo but not on rhl 8.0
(`insmod -f` or `rebuild from source-package` should work)
new driver (gcc3.2) will be out soon from nvidia, i can wait.
this should be only a summary!
it works for me.
rhl 6.x/7.x/8.0 :-)
suse 7.1/8.1 :-(
knoppix 2.x/3.x :-)
gnome :-)
kde :-(
