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/
I am curious. How did you fix it?
Thanks
NBK
You don't fix it. The Xorg driver works just fine. However if you want 3D
support then you'll want to use the Nvidia binary driver. There are a
couple of ways to install it. You can download the driver directly from
Nvidia and run their install script (very easy), or you can install the
RPM that's provided by the livna repository (even easier).
