I consider nForce based systems to currently be NOT compatible wit Red Hat Linux. Out of the box, the video doesn't work, the sound doesn't work, and if it has the built-in nForce network card, it doesn't work either. (So far I've installed on only one nForce-based system, in text mode with an add-in nic) nVidia has some binary drivers for all of it apparently, but they are not to my knowledge compiled for gcc3.2/Red Hat Linux 8.0 yet.
The audio on the nForce (what you were talking about) is apparently not *quite* a real i810, and that's why the driver loads and fails. Just like the video on the nForce isn't *quite* the same as an add-in nVidia card, which causes the system to lock up hard when the open-source "nv" driver is loaded. So IMNSHO, nForce systems currently make fine Windows boxes, but that's about it. On Fri, 2002-10-11 at 07:04, Henrik Ossipoff Hansen wrote: > Hi, > > First, I'm a very happy RedHat newbie..
