Mcronin Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Yeah, I saw this and I'm not happy. I just finally got Redhat 8 setup nicely on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfwood Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Didn't RedHat 8 come out just a little while ago? Regardless, there is always Slackware jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stremik Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Does anyone here running RH on an system with ABIT KR7A-133R motherboard that has an onboard HighPoint raid controller HPT372?(or any MB with this controller) I cant install RH on my system and looks like it's because of some incompatability between RH and raid controller.

stevenong Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 Thought some of you might be interested in the following articles: Two new Linux versions revealed Of particular interest: The biggest single change coming with version 9 is a move to a new way of handling simultaneous programming tasks called "threads." The new threading system, called the Native Posix Threading Library, means deep changes to how some software interacts with the heart of Linux, called the kernel.. . . But the change to NPTL means some older software won't work, including 3D graphics support for Nvidia and ATI graphics cards and some versions of Sun Microsystems' software for running Java programs, Red Hat said. I guess all that time spent customizing Red Hat 8.0 is not for nothing. Also, you have been warned. Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenong Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 Just installed the above mentioned driver for my GeForce2 GTS Pro & to my surprise, anti-aliased wireframe works! It is as if the driver has been "soft-quadro"ed?!?! Red Hat 7.3 & 6.0.249. Cheers! steven PS I was so surprised I forgot to test with 5.5.xxx!!!
