Yes; note that the nVidia Linux boards are quite useful, and you can get FC= 4,=20 OpenSuse or Gentoo working on these systems.

What's worse, it also made the machine lock up in x86 no-ACPI mode. YMMV, it might have been arguing with ACPI more and I forget whether I was= =20 booting amd64 or x86 at the time. Perhaps 6-R x86 will work with the newer= =20 BIOS (I don't fancy looking for the floppies right now). In any case, with 6-STABLE x86 X w/ nvidia drivers works and runs KDE 3.5=20 quite nicely. =2D-=20 These are your friends - Adem GPG: FEA2 A3FE Adriaan de Groot --nextPart1511736.edG5iXS7eZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDtVpXdqzuAf6io/4RAoNZAJ0WtoP4tf0bjtE1tIpV9NZ+9LZK5wCdHrsK XgLr56PkM0q/5mrlrqjTofA= =se9z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1511736.edG5iXS7eZ--
