IDE: driver via82cxxx byl prepsan Vojtechem Pavlikem (nevim presne kdy, ale ve 2.4.0-test8 to uz funguje), od te doby radic komunikuje rychlosti UDMA66. Pri kompilaci jadra staci zaskrtnout volbu VIA82CXXX chipset support. USB: radic je UHCI, staci tedy natahnout modul usb-uhci, namountovat usbdefs a pro USB zarizeni dalsi moduly natahovat podle potreby. zatim jsem s USB na teto desce nemel problem. pozn: USB je podporovano v jadrech 2.4 a v 2.2.18. Pro starsi 2.2 je backport patch. IrDa: jedna se o SIR. Pro komunikaci je nutne si stahnout irda-utils. v souboru /etc/irda/drivers v sekci start nastavime:
irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s
a cele to spustime:
irmanager -d1
pote muzeme nastavit zarizeni irda0 a mame IrDa sit. Zatim jsem netestoval. Zvukovka: v jadrech 2.2 je to modul via82cxxx.o v jadrech 2.3 a vyse via82cxxx_audio.o, driver nefunguje ale do verze 1.1.4 prakticky vubec, pokud funguje zvuk tak jen jako 8bit SB pro, do verze 1.1.6 nezna vyrobce desky, verze 1.1.8 uz celkem uspokojive funguje. Z nejakeho zahadneho duvodu vsak pres APM nejde uspat pocitac (hned se probudi). Nejlepsi je pouzit ALSA driver, verze > 0.5.6. Driver funguje naprosto spolehlive a ma cisty zvuk, celkove jsem nenarazil na jediny problem.

Vlastnosti karty, ktere mohou vadit

• kovove chrasteni, pokud hraje na plnou hlasitost, pomuze jen reset
• pod DOSem je karta umlcena, dodavany driver nedela nic a AC97 mixer pro dos neexistuje, takze kartu nerozmnoukate
• Absence Syntezy! Midi soubory muze prehravat pouze timidity, soft. synteza zatim neni

Grafika: V XFree86 3.3.5 jako VESA, verze 3.3.6 a 4 by mely mit samostatny driver Trident. Ackoliv karta ma mit linearni framebuffer, VESA fb v jadre nefunguje, protoze karta se hlasi jako VESA 1.02 (v SuSE 6.4 fb nastesti funguje). Samozrejme ze pro DOS neexistuje rezident, ktery by podporoval VESu ve verzi 2 a vic, tim padem jsou s framebufferm problemy.

problemy pod DOS/WIN viz. vyse.
pro zajimavost: Pokud vam jakkoliv spadnou windy, musite je reinstalovat, protoze zvukarna zustane potichu. homepage: http://tw.msi.com.tw/product/main_show.asp?pro_name=MS-5187
