I believe that under Tru64 it will work with 3D. Matrox Millenium (2) cards should do well in Linux, but I don't remember how well they are supported under TRU64. Currently, I am using an ATI Radeon 7000 DDR.
Hello,
Cristian is busy again and I allowed myself to build his latest kernel src rpm. Here is another "quick boot" test iso image from AC1.0: ftp://ftp.rdsor.ro/pub/Linux/Distributions/AlphaLinux/core/1.0a/test/ac1-qboot1.iso
It contains latest updates to kernel done by Cristian and should be able to boot on all srm machines (LEGACY_ADDRESS is switched off and kernel has video code from Jay). I hope BIG Alphas could (should) boot it too.
Please, post your test results.
Boots on a dual-CPU DP264. Seems to probe things properly and gets to the installation GUI. However, video is "funny". I'm running an old S3 Trio64 PCI adapter, and the display gets snowy when the mouse is moved. Worse, once it gets to the X display I cannot recover the text console. After switching it shows a jumble of random colors.
To be fair, almost all distributions seem to have problems with the S3 card. Can anyone recommend a PCI video adapter which will cooperate with both Linux and Tru64 5.1B?
I'm looking forward to trying the release of AC1.0 - nice work folks!
Steve
