Folks,

I have an ASUS A8N-VM motherboard with the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 GPU
northbridge
and NVIDIA nForce 410 MCP southbridge chips. I cannot get sound to work
on either
the standard 2.6.11 that is on the distro or the updated 2.6.16.

I've also read several stories of others having problems with this
distro and this
chipset.

Point blank: Does FC support the chipset or not? If not, I'll have to
decide if
it's less painful to change my MB or switch to a new OS.

Point Blank answer; Yes the nVidia chipset is supported, however it takes
some work. FYI: Fedora Core does not support the chipset directly, the
support comes from kernel.org and the X.org folks, the Fedora folks just
package the products (with some tweaks added).

I have read several stories for both the ATI and nVidia chipsets, many are
not good. As a suggestion visit the Fedora Forum; http://fedoraforum.org/


Hi Randy,

I am curious. How did you fix it?

Thanks
