I have semi succesfully installed Red Hat Linux 5.2 on my intel pentium 200 machine. I say semi because I was unable to activate WidowsX with my Trident 9750 video card, unable to get my sound, printer will not print, and modem is not working either. Now I have visited Redhat.com and in the hardware compatibility area it says that if it is not listed it is not supported. None of the above hardware was listed on redhats web page. I am wondering if anyone has had success in getting any of the following hardware to work properly and how they have accomplished it. The video card is a Trident AGP bus 9750 3D card with 4mb ram. I have installed a Cirus Logic 5430/40 PCI card and WindowsX runs. I am trying to get the AGP card to work as I run programs under MS Windows that require a 3D card. The sound on my system comes from an onboard sound system. The motherboard is a Topgun 5571. If anyone has had luck getting the sound to work here I would like to know how. I do have sound working with the PC speaker but it lacks quality. The printer is an HP Deskjet 820Cse Pro. I have tried all the available deskjet versions included with Red Hat 5.2 but non seem to work. I do not see any signals being sent to my printer either. The data light stays off when I try to print. I am printing fine under MS windows so I a sure my connection is working fine. Help!!! I need to print man pages to figure out this whole linux thing. Finally my modem is a Diamond SupraMax 56i voice PCI. Can it work? Is there any bbs in the 303 area code I could check out? I don't think i would be able to connect to aol under linux, am i right? Any help would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks in advance for any help, David Engstrom United Press Please reply by e-mail to UnitedPres@aol.com
