| |
Hello all
Just to add a spoonful of honey to what seems to be a flood of criticism and bug-reports on 2.4.0: installed it (final) on a P75 with an S3-Trio64 graphics card, CS4232 sound card without any problem whatsoever (apart, perhaps, from some compile warnings - but those are supposedly due to an UNRECOMMENDED compiler gcc-2.95.2). Modem and Zip also work fine. However, unfortunately, my hopes that 2.4.0 will somehow miraculously allow me to use IDE bus-mastering on PIIX did not come true:-(
Some further notes, for those interested:-) CS4232 now works as a module - was not able to do this with 2.2.x, wvdial (SuSE's Internet dial-up program) doesn't work without a small hack - pppd dies, because the module ppp0 (I think), sought for by wvdial (?) no longer exists. By if you manually load 2.4.0 ppp modules - everything works fine.
Thanks to all! Guennadi ___
