But things are changing of late, most of the linux drivers are available for regular hardware.<BR/><BR/>Linux is fun at times but I agree it brings lots of unbearable problems. Innovation in any form demands a price, and we are paying just that!Nirav Thakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204297663478577248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11200164.post-50173776246295778112007-04-29T07:29:00.000-04:002007-04-29T07:29:00.000-04:00Hi,I think it's safe to say that Linux is not "qui...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I think it's safe to say that Linux is not "quite there yet". I'm getting tired of trying drivers that arent stable enough to be released, improper code, and lots of library/dependency problems. At this time, no OS is able to match the simplicity of Windows drivers installations. I hope everything gets better because, as it is, Linux isnt fun, more troubles than anything else.<BR/><BR/><BR/>- JayUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00211877755033473215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11200164.post-25289142914258833692007-04-06T18:46:00.000-04:002007-04-06T18:46:00.000-04:00Hi,I'm also using Asus a8v-vm, while googling i've...Hi,<BR/>I'm also using Asus a8v-vm, while googling i've found out your blog and I'd like to believe that my case is hopeless. I'm really giving up yet I found a driver for linux here ..http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=25&CatID=2580&SubCatID=164.<BR/>I haven't tried it though, I hope this will solve my problem. The page said it is for K8M890 - "This driver package provides the kernel source code for the Chrome9 K8M890". I dont know if it matches my hardware requirement, I'll be exploring it now, hopefully you can too, and give me some feedback. <BR/><BR/>Thanks and more power!<BR/><BR/>jojo maquilingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
