Which?? The SK8N that DES will respond to my email is > actually high on the "bizzare issues" list. I have an Asus A8N-SLI (nforce4) Motherboard based box running=20 5-STABLE for some time now. Issues are : x ACPI (quite common), x Sound (not much a problem since I have an Emu10K1 based sound=20 card which is far better), x Network (sk0 works fine, but not should-be-nv0), x USB (no clue, I'm not using it ATM but firewire works). The system is totally usable, I have a Geforce 6600 PCI-E and=20 the whole thing runs Xorg 6.8.2 with nv driver. I'm totally=20 happy with it. As Dag-Erling said, it'll be good if you were not giving false=20 information and better (my opinion), as re-amd64@ if you were=20 trying to get better relationship with Nvidia. --=20 Florent Thoumie flz@xbsd.org --=-/zEFXO0TjPOp/5WF8xvs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCYD7vMxEkbVFH3PQRAiOtAJwJHx4+iJdZZGiAhpjJndBFbIzHkQCghsrc OSOuTKyEiwYcOqxx4am6dVI= =/S+V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-/zEFXO0TjPOp/5WF8xvs--
