Re: Kernel config for specific cards

[P Z <pzkmmmh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, appreciate that.

I was thinking EEPROM, but I guess some cards also have RAM which has to be initialized on every power cycle.

As far as x86 goes,I tried Ubuntu 10.10/1.0.23  and it worked like stated on the vendor matrix page, but only with a live disk -

VM had stutter / was completely distorted. It might also be noteworthy that one of the Direct Monitor LEDs sometimes

comes on when the driver is loaded or unloaded.

I suspect that the DMA of the frequency feedback data is not handled correctly.
I'll see if I can create a patch this weekend ...

Because different cards use different hardware.
