Hi

linux 2.4 does not run on the 5200..

work is in progress for a 2.6 port, which will hopefully resolve this

Could I ask what the state of play is with installing Linux on an Iyonix
with an FX5200 is?  I've been trying to install and get as far as running
the installer but I don't get a splash screen - in fact it is completely
blank.  Pressing Ctrl-C seems to cause disc access, and pressing F12
causes access of the CD, but I can't see what do do at this stage.  I'm
assuming it is a video driver issue.  I never tried before with the
original card.

Cheers,
Grahame.
