This is the public beta for good reason. Please query bugzilla and if
this bug has not already been filed then please do so. Input such as
this is pretty vital to the continued improvement of Red Hat Linux.

Good word, describes a problem I have.

Does it actually work with the r128 driver? If so, what's the
PCI id?
Bill
You can use XF86Setup , it can disable some function of the card.

Any way to get access to this info? Xconfigurator is really useless
with a lot of laptops (like my A20p) and it would be nice to come up
with an XF86Config with less voodoo.

lso a cheap alternatives to the tulip cards is the DLink 530TX+
which uses
realtek 8139c driver which is not great, but works.
Hope this helps.

1. Windows2000 auto-detects my BP6 dual processor system. All I have to
do to get the same level of service with Linux is to edit certain
setting, recompile the kernel, copy the new one to a new location and
then reconfigure LILO. Yeah, just about t

1. Try hooking up a printer.
2. Ask the man on the street what a "refresh rate" is.
3. Ask the average user if his sound card is "approved" or not?

That's not true. There are definately ways to discover ways to do

It's a beta release. It's a release to fix problems.
Whining that a beta release doesn't meet your standards for quality is
a useless, stupid waste of time. If you can't stand the heat, get out
of the beta.
