I have the exact same board, the A7V8X, and I couldn't get the 8x to work until I tried the Schneider Drivers. I never thought to check the native kernel module for kt400 compatability, since all of the newsgroups said something to the tune of "d00d, the kt400 won't work with teh appgart.o that is with the 2.4 kernels, you need to either get a 2.5 kernel, or use these 1337 Schneider Driver and patch them"
however, I'll keep that in mind for future refrence.
How about the lack of any distro that supports my AGP 8x chipset out of the box. I ended up having to download drivers from some guy in Germany, patch his drivers with a fourth-party patch, and then taint my kernel to finally get an AGP driver that works at all with my VIA KT-400 chipset. I understand why new hardware is hard to support, but i've had this board since Christmas and 9 months later, still nothing.
/me waits paitently for the 2.6 kernel tree to go stable

They're showing off the source code for a voting system, so you know that some people will find security holes in them (and not tell anyone). Here's what I predict the presidental election will yeild:
When I saw the title, I first though that this was an article for the new Microsoft Assembly 2003 assembler. I thought 'it's about time someone made an object-oriented version of assembly for the x86 platform'. The I read the rest of the summary. Something about a gathering that starts today. The lesson I learned is: It's not enough not to read the article, you can't read the summary either.
correct. Basically, a Giant made a bet with the gods that he could build them a fortress in valhalla in one summer. If he could do it, they would keep the fortress and he could marry Freya. If not, they would get what he had started and he would get nothing.
He had the help of his super-powered horse, and so it looked like he was going to finish it on time. Then Loki, the trickster, transformed himself into a mare to 'distract' the Giant's horse. He succeeded, the fortress wasn't quite finished, however, a few months later Loki gave birth to Slepnir, who would become Wotan's eight-legged war horse.
The giant and the horse have names, but I left my copy of the Prose Edda at home. I chose this name because it was my 'battle name' for Belegarth, a kind of live action role playing. Ironic that i choose that name, since I fight with full chain armour and a tower sheild, negating any speed advantage I normally have.
What kind of sick bastard would slashdot a VNC connection? It's bad enough when you do it to an image file server or a site with a video or ISO, but a VNC CONNECTION on a computer that is too low powered for even Linux? What is wrong with you people?
I'd like to see them go up to Apple and say "make it so that linux can't run on your computers or else we won't give you OEM Windows licenses" and not get laughed out of the building.
I have followed your company very closely over the past couple of months. I noticed that you offer a way for me to legaly own code that you offered for free a few months ago. You will see here is a check made out for the exact amount of money you want.
You will never see this check, Mr. McBride. You will notice that at the top it says "Red Hat Legal Fund". I plan on using this money to support the attack on you and your FUD.
As a representative of the Disney Corporation, I am pleased to announce the creation of Tucks the Penguin(TM). He will be participating along with BSE the blowfish in a series of movies due out this fall.
Note: Any attempt to use an image similar to Tucks the Penguin (TM) will result in swift legal action. Have a nice day
It has come to my attention that you claim that you 'own' the SMP parts of the Linux kernel. I have looked on your website and determined that amount of money you plan on charging me for the right to use what I could have downloaded for free off of you a year ago.
Here is a check to the amount that I 'owe' you. You will notice how your name is not at the top of it however. This money is going to the Red Hat lawsuit fund to put you and your crooked company out of bussiness.
(a) have some software layer that can use windows.dlls in linux, just like Wine. Software will be significantly slower, however.
(b) have something that can compile.Net code the way.Net does, but uses Linux libraries instead. You'll get things to run a bit faster than option a, but it's going to be quite an undertaking to rewrite every microsoft library to be completly compatable with linux, especially the DirectX stuff. Wine has already done a lot of that, but thier windows libraries don't function exactly like the native windows ones.
(c) Microsoft decides to open-source thier libraries, embraces linux. Then I'll be able to port my copy of Duke Nukem Forever to Linux. This will be the second largest article on slashdot that week, right behind the second coming of Christ.
I don't see why they could be against this idea. One thing that keeps many people away from switching to linux is that there are a lot of products you can't get for linux that you can get for windows. By making.Net for linux, software makers can easily port products from windows to linux. If done right, it would just be a matter of compiling it on a linux version of.Net and including a.run file with the distribution CD.
Don't worry, with slashdot spelling the way it is, I'd be surprised if there were more than 6 occurances of "Mickey Mouse" across the whole site. The copyright owners of "Mikey Mouce", however, won't be pleased.

No, there are reports of older french citizens cutting rail lines and blowing up bridges when they saw something that fast coming from england to france...
If this happens, I suspect this technology will be illegal...
Not illegeal, just when you try to run it in windows it will mysteriously crash. Microsoft won't want there to be a program that will translate their EULAs into "w3 0wnz0r j00 50ul!!!!!111"

Yeah, Mozilla. You to go orbitz.com and book tickts to a non-extradition country.
