My mother board uses an nForce2 chipset and nVidia GeForce 4 MX
graphics. I am using udev .076 with a 2.6.14-1-k7 kernel installed from
linux-image-2.6.14-1-k7_2.6.14-2_i386.deb.
Sound works; modules load at boottime. nVidia graphics driver 7174
works. I've had a few odd X crashes, but I've also had X
crashes with all of the 2.6 kernels.
If you want to try the earlier kernel, you can download it from
http://snapshot.debian.net/
