bearcat 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Allright, I'm trying to install redhat 9, but it seems that a hardware component is incompatible. I had an Inetgrated ProsavageDRR KM266 with 32 megs of shared video memory. (I know, it stinks) That seems to be incompatible with redhat. What will I have to do? New video card? or a new motherboard? Any suggestion for a good alternative to what I have now that's compatible? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post
danleff 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Well 2 choices, as I see it. The mothebroard should be OK. You can buy a video card and disable the onboard video in the bios, or perhaps try the solution that I found at the following link; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/18/2003/09/2/82615 I assume that you get a console screen and no GUI?

bearcat 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Yeah, the graphical interface wouldn't work. I guess I'm going to buy a video card. I need an excuse ot get a new one anyway. Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted February 3, 2004 If I may make a suggestion, choose Nvidia. They seem to be more Linux friendly than ATI, although I've not had much trouble with the two ATI cards I have used. Share this post Link to post
bearcat 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Could you give me a specific model of video card that's not expensive but it's over 32mb? Share this post Link to post
