I have A7N8X deluxe MB and nvidia ASUS V9180 Graphic card in a mandrake 9.1 box. I had a problem for hdd that it was accepting dma status and hence it was giving udma 2 status. This problem was solved by the kernel kernel-2.4.21.0.22mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm I have also installed the its source rpm kernel-source-2.4.21-0.22mdk.i586.rpm. I have also installed NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.src.rpm.
Now I installed nvidia run script for nvidia graphics. But I get only 2D acceleration. Excerpts from XFree.0.log is given below. (WW) NVIDIA(0): Failure reading EDID parameters for display device CRT-0 --- (II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture. Further I get from dmesg as below agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 203M agpgart: unsupported bridge agpgart: no supported devices found. 0: NVRM: AGPGART: unable to retrieve symbol table 1) what to do to get 3D acceleration? Whether agpgart has to do with 3D? 2) I get white screen with yellow lines when I try to play xine. After that if I run xawtv I get the same white screen. But xawtv or mplayer runs ok if xine is not started or if logout then relogin and start xawtv. 3) For parallel port I have following lines in /etc/modules.conf. alias parport parport_pc I need parport for parallel port scanner. Now i am unable to get parallel port in lsmod. But i get dmesg following line. spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 How to make parallel port working in this MB. in cat /proc/interrupts I don't get irq 3,4or 7. 4) Though my modem works OK in both serial ports, my pda jornada 690e is not getting connected with this MB serial ports. I could get connected (of course in windows) with i815 board. What can be the reason. I want to make 9.1 work with this MB before moving to 9.2. -- L.V.Gandhi 203, Soundaryalahari Apartments, Lawsons Bay colony, Visakhapatnam, 530017 MECON, 5th Floor, RTC Complex, Visakhapatnam AP 530020 INDIA http://lvgandhi.tripod.com/
