Running linux-2.4.20-rc1 on Dell Dimension 4550
Quoted 6 lines
Thought I'd post some information about what I'm seeing running RH7.3 with kernel 2.4.20-rc1 on a brand new Dell Dimension 4550. Currently there are two problems with the machine:
- When I swtich to a text console and back to the X screen, the machine locks up (or at least the console does not respond anymore).
you don't say the kernel, X, or hardware, but I've seen that personally with radeon 7500... that what you have?

- The sound driver does not load, although it seems to try.
seems to be ich4 audio - you need 0.23/24 driver for this to work - check with the AC series - OR -
with my _particular_ i845E chipset - commenting out the "break;" immediately after the line that goes "Primary codec not ready" makes this work fine -- probably your computer will burst into flames if you do the same or something... this is *NOT* a recommendation.

Kernel is 2.4.20-rc1, X is 4.2.0-8 from RH. The X log reports:
(--) Chipset ATI Rage 128 Pro ULTRA TF (AGP) found
Warnings/errors are:
(WW) R128(0): Can't determine panel dimensions, and none specified.
Disabling programming of FP registers.
(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected
The Dell packing list reports: 32MB ATI RAGE ULTRA 4X AGP.
Probably should take this off linux-kernel....
