[NMLUG] Xeon Linux
We put the original nView nvidia Quadro FX1300 card back in the
machine, and the HP Redhat load worked.
It was set up for some sort of generic video driver (VESA?)
so we thought we'd try the old Nvidia Riva TNT2 card again.
It kernel panked on boot.
We still don't know the story, but hopefully
we can use some other HP-blessed PCI-X card in there
with success. I wonder if it just doesn't work with PCI video?
We have no need for a modern dual-head card in a number-crunching
machine, but we may not have a choice.
