Mandrake 10.0 and GeForce MX400

[Nhadie <nh...@tb...>]

Hi,

I've given up using Redhat 9 and the 2.4 kernels. I decided to go into 2.6.

Has anyone made multi-seat work using 4 MX400 cards (1agp + 3pci).
Currently i'm trying it using Mandrake 10.0. I tried to use kernel 2.6.9 and
patch it using the ruby 2.9.9 patch. I was able to compile and build the
kernel. but when I booted using that kernerl, after lilo, i only got blank
screen and the system hanged. I tried also 2.6.10 but also got the same
thing. Can anyone help me? Thank you in Advanced.

Regards,
Nhadie

Good move: 2.6.x.

Can't help you with the distrib. I use Debian only.
But why not a later kernel and Faketty?

I revisited 2.6.9-ruby.vz11 again and that kernel is
"sticky" compared to what I run now (2.6.14-ck6). Also
evdev is not as clean.

Ruby would buy you fbcons if you ran Matrox cards, but
not with those MX-440's so it adds nothing.

Just my 2 cents.
