[expert] A7N8X deluxe MB and nvidia ASUS V9180 Graphic card pending problems.
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/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You should have the output from vinyl player to go to line-in of your soundcard. In sound mixer(like Kmix) you should select line-in for recording purposes. If the speaker is connected to speaker/lineout port, then if you play the player, you should get sound from speaker when the OS is working. For this no sound s/w(playing or recording) need to run.

I am running mandrake 9.1 with the shipped kernel, in asus a7n8x deluxe
motherboard with nvidia nforce2 chipset and amd athlon 2400+ with 256 mb ram.
I was only wondering when the same system is giving good transfer rate with
knoppix, what tweaking is needed in mandrake9.1 to get it?

here it is udma5 where as in mdk it is udma2 only.
I tried /etc/sysconfig/harddisks with X 69. still no use. Any help to change
