I'm not an expert on this, but my take on the code is that it had to be explicitly set. And I can't answer your question about whether it is a problem for single channel if dual channel is set. The code looked pretty complex, I didn't look in depth, and I don't have the background to really understand it. An incompatibility would explain why it isn't set, but I can't see expert developers like those who work on the kernel not allowing for that situation to be harmless. Before worrying about incompatibilities, you could try to compile a kernel with the config switch set. If that kernel works with your card, then you could worry about how to deal with incompatibilities, if there are any. Maybe by booting different kernels for different cards; crude but effective. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel I don't really know enough to answer your questions, but I think this is at least a possible explanation for your difficulties with the card you have. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
