asus M6N

[Phillip Neumann]

Hi Doug, thanks for your reply


ive been told ATI mobility cards have not any kind of opensource driver
for dri, just binaries from ati.com for linux... and ppl had work on a
wrapper for it on freebsd, but they failed.. so, i think thats it.. i
dont have a really need for dri anyway so... (ive try dri and dri-devel)

about the acpi.. i think that important.. i thought all centrinos woked
equal.. but know i understant.. its the the work of the bio that set the
cpu modes... im just flash my bios to the latest rom, and i get the same
acpi errors...

DSDT table? whats that? its related to acpi?


"Your machine may not support those features either."

what do u mean by that?...



thanks,
