Hi All,
I'm working on installing Mandrake 9.0 (Linux) on a computer.
The existing video card seems to be not compatible with Mandrake.
So I need some advice on a video card to get. The cheaper the better
I just want to get Mandrake up and running. I'm a beginner with Linux.
The computer is a home build which includes:
Abit KT7a no raid.
1.13ghz AMD (Thunderbird)
266mhz FSB
512megs ram.
PCI 6-Slots (4 Free)
1-AGP Slot (4x)
1-ISA slot (SB 16 Soundcard)
4-USB
Video Card is a Diamond Stealth Video VRAM (2-meg) not compatible
3-com nic (10/100)
1-Seagate 60 gig (5400) (Linux)
1-Maxtor 27 gig (5400)
Need more info let me know.
I've tried several of the generic and named configs during setup and none
will work.
So I'm pretty sure the video card is not going to fly.
Looking for just a basic video card for now that will for sure work.
Thanks All
Brad
