Wondering if Fedora Core 1.0 will support my hardware

krdp · 11-06-2003, 10:06 AM

Hello all, I am very very interested in installing Fedora Core 1.0 but I'm wondering if it will support my hardware. Here is what I have:

AMD Athlon XP 2600+
motherboard: ASUS A7N8X Nforce 2 board
Video Card: Nivida Geforce 5200FX
RAM: 1.Gig
HD: 60 Gig
CDROM/DVDROM: LG 4480B

Will Fedora support my hardware "out of the box" or will I need to config some stuff, I don't mind doing that. Any links to more information would aslo be very help full. Thanks for any help.

yeah...i'm almost 100% certain it will.... one question though... what monitor do you have?

The last time I installed RH9 my monitor kept turning off, I think it was because of my GeforceFX video card, will this happen in fedora too?? I think I know how to fix this problem if it happens.

i can't promise its not going to happen but either way you can always run the text install if you have monitor problems

You will have to download the drivers from nvidia to get 3D working in your graphics card, and you'll probably need nvidia network drivers to get networking going...

but it is possible =)

I'm running it an a7N8X now with an Nvidia FX 5200, the nvidia drivers do in fact work both for the chipset, and the video.
