Hi all, I just installed 8.0 on a die-hard windows user's machine, and it didn't make a very good show. This machine has the same voodoo card as in one of mine (voodoo3 2000), and tho mine's 3d performance is lacking, his is non-existant. The installer installed XFree86-3.3.6 by default without asking (tho in expert mode), so after boot I found out why. I went into display to set it up, I was finally given the choice of 4.0.3, but not 'with acceration'. I chose 4.0.3 anyway, and then it wouldn't boot into X. Without gaming support, we're gonna lose him. Also, I finally know what some people are saying about poor performance. 8.0 runs good my three intel machines, but his amd k-2 450 is sad - most of the time. I did the hdparm thing and raised that performance a little, however this kapm-idle thing in top is showing over 50% of the cpu being used up by something, when nothing extraneous is open or running. Made sure no servers or unnecessary processes were running (as I always do). Sometimes it goes back down to 0% like mine always show, but most of the time something is going on. Any advise/info would as always be appreciated. -s As said, its has an amdk-2 450 with 192Mb100m ram, 256 swap, seagate 5200rpm 17gig hdd with 4 given to LM, voodoo3 2000, onboard sound (that comes and goes, sis on-board video (that's supposed to be disabled, yet shows up - but is not configured). Phillips something cdburner. Nothing special about install - not recompiled.
