it's good to know someone else on the list has one of these. not infrequently, i've wrestled with linux/redhat on my I8K. > Under redhat-7.X wireless was painful, APM didn't work, 3d didn't work, > printing sucked (to an HP deskjet 990), I don't think sound worked. Hmmm...having been through the wireless thing several times recently, I think the pain depends on the version. RH7.3 in particular is, I think, better than the others--not too hard, but far from "plug-and-play." Also, sound should have worked out of the box, no problem. 3D also should have worked in RH7.3, but it causes a hang if you resume from a suspend; I usually have it disabled. :( > * 2d required some tweaking of the config file really? it's worked out-of-the-box with 7.X as long as I can remember. > * 3d "just worked"... have you tried to suspend? and resume? wow, the "just worked" list is cool. and this is only a X.0 release, so minor things will get fixed (like the need to tweak to get 2D going). shawn. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
