Greetings,
next week I'm supposed to demo and possibly install Fedora Core 8 on a
system which has an Asus A8N-VM CSM motherboard with a GeForce 6150/
nForce 430 Chipset, connected with a DVI cable to the SM226BW monitor.
Does anybody already use this combination, and can report how it
works?
I understand that everything should work, that is that FC8 on that
motherboard/chipset should be able to drive that monitor via DVI at
its native resolution: the monitor is 1680x1050, the GeForce 6150 max
resolution is declared as 1920x1440 on the VGA port so I assume it the
DVI resolution isn't smaller and FC8 can handle it.
Am I correct? Also, are there any particular config tricks to make X /
FC8 use this HW at its maximum capabilities?
Thank you in advance for any feedback,
You will have initial problems with the Nvidia VGA device. You need
to have a fix for this hardware which can now be yum installed. I use a
bash file from the Nvidia web site. Otherwise it should be a snap to
install.
