qnr Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I had originally posted this, then deleted it as I figured people wouldn't be interested, but I'll put it back since it might help, generally, with those new to Gentoo, for example. aru, does 1. apply to you?

I got lots of help from zero from holding my hand on the details. Please test (p4 sync it or wait for the tarballing) Mine works but for some interrupt conficts that might be related to acpi interfering with my 3c905b, and I'm using an nForce-based board.

DOlson Posted July 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Okay, well, it's working fine for me so far, but I didn't patch and install my NVidia drivers yet, so I'm using the (crappy) nv driver. Majesty still works, so I imagine most of the games out there won't be broken, and my browser and email work just fine, and I'm listening to Zao with XMMS, so it's all good so far in. Yay and all that. EDIT: Okay, I put the NVidia drivers in using the patch from minion.de. Seems to be working just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aru Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 aru, does 1. apply to you?Excellent, thanks, I'll take a look to it this evening at home :D (*) notice the date of my post, I'm not having time to use my computers (and much less to be online), just imagine my anxiety!!!

static Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Running it perfectly, but not with mandrake. Dang fast, must say. Games are crazy - and booting is looney fast. I'd take some sort of race with XP to see who could be playing an mp3 first... or who could be on the net first, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
