When you say supported do you mean under X or as a kernel module of some sort? Also what about FB support?
The Nvidia chipset is supported under X (4 BTW not 3.3) for unaccelerated things, but you need a kernel module to get 3d acceleration working (and change 1 line in the XF86Config) and it really is a quick card for 3d though. AFAIK there is no fb support but there would be no real point using it if it does because the 3d would not work and then there would be no Quake which is the most important issue here.
So does the latest debian have X 4? if not how easy is it to add with KDE as WM (might change to the one the Peter showed me.
Well I'm thinking Xine ATM, I am also thinkning of the dark side
and
upgrading from Peanut to debian, but not sure how great an idea
this
would really be.
Do it, or I will say Ni repeatedly at you at the next meet.
Well if I do I will back up all my data onto CD and then blitz the entire machine and Dual boot Linux and OpenBSD, I will also have two kernels to boot 2.2 and 2.4 (I need 2.4 for the Herione warrior). But I have two NVQ's to do before the end of the month or I get fired. so It might take some time. Also whilst I'm at it I may increase the list traffic a bit with questions.
Athlon 1.2Ghz 512Mb 2100DDR memory, motherboard and DVD drive
along
with a IBM UDMA100 60Gb hard disk and a Iiyama Vision master Pro 451 19" monitor,
Go on, you know you want it.
Well yeah I know that already, the problem is affording it! unless the fairy Tuxmother comes and grants some wishes, my cashflow atm resembles that of a dotcom company.
And since when has that stopped people? NE way I thought you were going to Aus, if you comeback via the US you can get the HW cheaper.
Thanks
