AGP Nvidia Quadro 4 200 NVS (IBM) graphics adapter

no boot problems
according to kernel messages USB, Firewire, forcedeth (Reverse
Engineered nForce ethernet driver) ohci etc. recognized


Anaconda does recognize Nvidia Quadro 4 (generic) Graphic, but monitor
(NEC Multisync LCD 1700nx) still unknown ,  xServer starting

SELinux disabled for the first step in order to avoid a possible mix of
problems. The help text in anaconda does not contain content regarding
SELinux (only regarding the firewall).

CD will not be ejected, that's a well known issue

reboot OK

XServer comes up without problems, but values for horizonatl an vertical
sync I corrected during installation are not inserted into XF86config

First Boot:
sound adapter recognized as nVidia Corp. AC97 Audio Controller, module
snd-intel8x0, but no sound available. Seems to be a well known bug, too.

sound is configured in modprobe.conf, but module not loaded. Loading
manually results in multiple warnings: Operation not permitted 

ACPI seems to work, /proc/acpi present and contains plausible
information

no error messages in boot, dmsg, messages

Nvidia Graphics works in single head mode. Switching between analogous
and digital signals works. According to the docu dual head is supported,
but doesn't work here. Messages:
Fatal server error: Requested Entity alredy in use! 

According to man page: Option “CrtcNumber” “0” rsp. “1” added, didn't
help

system-config-display still does not insert screen 0 and PCI lines into
the device section of the first screen. Did cause probs in previous
versions.

build in 6 in 1 cardreader is recognized, but automatic mount of a flash
card didn't work. Indeed, I didn't succeed in mounting any card.

Kernel messages:

kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found
kernel: hub 3-0:1.0: 3 ports detedtec
kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using adress 2
kernel: SCSI subsystem initialised
kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver ....
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
kernel: Vendor: USB2.0 Model: CardReader CF RW Rev: 0.0
kernel: Type: Direct-Access
kernel: drivers/usb/core/usb.c: regisgtered new driver usb-storage
kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered

But I don't know enough about usb mass storage and how to handle it
(never used it before).



Greetings
Peter
