RE: Sound card and graphics drivers
Hi
i've just finished installing my box at home which has a Matrox G400
dualhead in it. I installed using the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel and selected AGP
support in the setup, along with mga (which I think is the matrox graphics
adapter (could !be very wrong about that tho), also in the device driver
section you can select a specific card driver for Matrox G200 G400 etc, I
cant remember exactly what sectionit was under but just check all the
options relating to graphics (I didnt spot it first time around and it still
installed fine - i then had to reinstall after screwing my kernel).
Sound tho I cant get to work as I cant find the alsa-modules for my kernel
and opensound havent built for this one either, so I'm probably going to
bite the bullet and rebuild as 2.4.20, tho I dont seem to have any real
success rebuilding ever - me being impatient more than anything.

that's
what I had around) and verified that ymfpci.c supports the
YMF-744.
