With help from multiple other threads, I got R5C7 to work with the following parts: # Video type: SDTV # Type of system: combined front- and back-end # Noise level: I can tell it's on until I play some media # CASE: Silverstone Lascala SST-LC13-S # PSU: SeaSonic S12-380 # MOTHERBOARD: K8NGM2-FID # CPU: A64-3700+ # RAM: 2x512 Crucial Ballistix PC3200 # CPU HEATSINK: stock AMD quad heatpipe for A64 X2 # NORTHBRIDGE HEATSINK: passive # CD/DVD-RW: Sony DRU-510 # HDD: Maxtor Diamondmax 10 300gig # GRAPHICS CARD: Onboard nvidia 6150 # SOUNDCARD: Onboard 7.1 sound # TUNER CARD: Hauppauge wintv pvr-250 # REMOTE CONTROL: Microsoft remote model 1039 with winMCE usb IR receiver/transmitter Not in database section, but also using onboard lan hooked to a 1GB switch, lan, and to internet through broadband router. Monitor is Dell 1905FP. Speakers are Cambridge Soundworks DTT-2500 digital 5.1 with dolby and DTS decoding - old and limited by only 1 digital input and only 4-speaker analog inputs instead of full 5.1 or 7.1 analog/digital input, but it works. Here's how: Installed R5C7. I have a 1280x1024 native lcd, so I installed it with a video=1280x1024 option. On bootup, it failed to run Xwindows and aborts to a login. Logged in as root. Ran netcardconf. This was the key to getting things working without pain. Pulled this from another thread: get a shell and login as su or root, /etc/init.d/gdm stop cd to your favorite download directory, wget http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linu ... 2-pkg1.run then execute the script sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run Reboot, and Xwindows runs fine. Sound didn't work at all, so I used the instructions by syracuse from another thread: To get the sound to work (Realtek 880) for both stereo and 5.1 coax out: a) open a term window (i.e. Alt-x), b) become super-user (su) c) cd /usr/src d) wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/a ... c5.tar.bz2 e) tar jxvf alsa-driver-1.0.11rc5.tar.bz2 f) cd alsa-driver-1.0.11rc5 g) ./configure h) make i) make install The sound worked after following the above instructions plus a reboot. Make sure you find the mixer and turn up both volumes to 90% or more. I have a winTV PVR250 and it wouldn't detect properly the first installation, but it did somehow the second time. Likewise, channel scan wouldn't work until I ran through the card and source selection process a couple of times. It's as if selections would not activate after making them, so I had to enter and exit the entire setup section each time I made a config change. I didn't even bother to configure the remote but it worked. I said "no" to having a serial ir blaster, but the USB IR sensor auto-detected and worked without any configuration. |
