Our office had just received some 3007FPWs that we want to use to monitor bandwidth. The preferred computer to drive the display would be a Dell Optiplex GX280, that unfortunately only supports small form factor PCI-e video cards. After searching around a bit, the only card that I can find that...

i tried my PSU in the mobo that had my ram CPU and video card in it, and it booted. I am really getting frustrated. I have NO idea WHY its not working in mine ahhhhh I now tried MY PSU in the motherboard, and the one from the other PC, and it STILL doesn't boot. Do you think I have a defective...

i just put my ram, cpu and video card in a new computer with an identical Mobo (aBit NF7) and it booted up fine. Im going to try the PSU in this computer now and see what happesn.

Tried a new PS, still doesnt work. Tried the HSF method you suggested, still nothing. I really don't know whats wrong, Im going to bring down a second computer, and interchange the parts.

ok, I've tried the first 2, but now ill try a new PS. All the CD roms and HDD's spool up fine. I'm going to try the HSF method you suggested, thanks.

Can someone help me out here. I recently bought a new motherboard, a Soltek SL-75FRN-RL. It replaced my supposedly burnt out Asus A7V266. I plugged in my ram, my Athlon XP 1800+ and my GF4 Ti4600, all which worked when they were in another mobo for testing. The computer powers on, I have the...

joshg, can you tell me how you got it to work? What you exactly did to the kernel? Your post seems a little vague.

Well I got my Radeon 9600Pro yesterday, and NO driver works for it. The DRI driver sucks, and I cant get the FireGL one working because my RPM version sucks. I tried re-emerging RPM, but no luck. I'm using the VESA drivers right now, which arent bad for just using the computer for everything...

Did you test it? How did it go?

wow thank you, I just ordered a 9600Pro 128MB, I couldn't resist, and I should get it Friday, so I will let you know how it goes.

yea I run Gentoo, so I know all about customization. My question is, will the DRI driver have OpenGL support?

yea maybe Ill go with a GF4 Ti4200

do you think it will become a huge PITA going with the ATi card? joshg, have you tried the ATi 3d drivers? Do you think I can get away with using the 9700Pro drivers?

hmm it might be cooked. Damn, and it served me so well, I even played UT2K3 fine with it., is there anything I can do?

P.S. Im running Gentoo Linux 1.4rc3 with all the system and world updates.
