Salve!
Avrei alcune domande, avete notizie sul supporto per questa mobo su Linux?
Ho notato che nel 2.4.20 c'e` ben poco ma nel 2.5.70 c'e` qualcosa in piu`.
Non sono riuscito a trovare nulla su internet, tipo il Chip del controller EIDE i vari chipset in giro, visto che stranamente il mouse USB non mi funziona (la configurazione del mouse e` corretta)...
Se avete info da darmi o siti da consigliarmi fatelo

Ciao ciao

[ZoD]

Nessuno sa nada?

[AnonimoVeneziano]

Se non dai + info nessuno ti può aiutare

Ciao

[ZoD]

Che info in piu` ti servono?!
Servono a me le info su quali chip devo specificare nel kernel

L'hard disk ad esempio e` lento, l'USB non funziona anche se i moduli sono caricati tutti

Sarebbe figo se qualcuno che ha la mia stessa mobo e usa linux mi contattasse

Ciao e grazie

Ok, attualmente il kernel che meglio supporta il tuo chipset è il 2.4.21-ac , che però non è ankora completo, (anke se ormai può essere ritenuto stabile)

Lo scarichi da www.kernel.org , prima scarichi la versione completa del Kernel 2.4.20 , poi scarichi la patch per aggiornare il 2.4.20 all' ultima versione del 2.4.21 (che dovrebbe essere la 2.4.21-rc7 ) e poi scarichi la patch per aggiornare il 2.4.21-rc7 all' ultima versione del ramo -ac (che dovrebbe essere la 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 ) , a sto punto hai il supporto perfetto per l'IDE , ma manca l'AGP, se hai una scheda Nvidia lo puoi far andare usando i Drivers Nvidia per le schede video , se hai un altra scheda video devi applicare quest'altra patch al kernel:

Mii, grazie mille Anonimo!!
Io ho una ATi 8500 vedro` di patchare il tutto, a farlo non ho problemi, un'ultima cosa dove hai trovato queste info?

ciao e grazie ancora

[ZoD]

Argh..
poi leggo ora ora questo nel changelog del 2.5.70

[AGPGART] Merge NVIDIA nForce / nForce2 AGP driver.
Based upon code written by NVIDIA for agpgart 2.4, forward ported and
cleaned up slightly by me. This still needs work, and is untested.

abrrr

[AnonimoVeneziano]

A detta di "ilsensine" i drivers AGP dovrebbero avere pochi problemi di incompatibilità , ma non ti costa nulla provare .

Effettivamente questo altro non è che un backport del driver per 2.5.x sul kernel 2.4.X

Ciao
