Also had issues with MDK and the Broadcom GigaBit card, other distros (incl. MDK 9.2) see the card and work with it fine, MDK 10CE sees the card and installs the drivers for it, but on bootup it says eth0 failed and w2hen you try to change the cards settings etc the system freezes. Even weirder, on a clean install of the OS it warns that the card has been previously configured for use - if you accept the existing settings you end up with the dead card and system freeze previously mentioned, but if you tell it to redo the card during install it forces a crashed installation, however when booting (thankfully the crash is after the bootloader is installed) eth0 still fails, however on actually using it the network is fine. Good thing I'm using DHCP, if I try to set it for specific IP or change any parameters I freeze again....
Anyway - the real reason for the email - when attaching an exterior monitor via the port replicator - as soon as I start X the external monitor dies. I know about the XF86Config-4 line:
Option "Display" "BIOS"
this isn't my first Dell running Linux, however this doesn't seem to do much good with this new model, when that didn't work I took it out thinking that maybe the new Dells were different, still no joy.
Has anyone else run into this?
specs:
Dell Latitude D600
512 MB RAM
BIOS A09
ATI Radeon 9000 32 MB RAM
MDK sees it as "ATI Radeon fglrx"Any ideas?
