I am pretty new to Linux, just looking for direction.
Just received my new machine which has an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard.
I have read on the list a few problems between ASUS mbs and the Hauppauge
cards (well the 500 anyway).
I am just wondering what the order of operations is for a new machine.
The patches from ASUS for Linux are just zip files. The BIOS patch is a
.bin.
They have 2 patches for nVidia stuff.
NVIDIA Display Linux Driver (v1.0-8174) install package for kernel
2.4 and 2.6.
NVIDIA Chipset 32/64bit Linux Driver install package for kernel 2.4
and 2.6
So, do I:
1. Install Ubuntu Edgy
2. Apply these updates from ASUS
3. aptitude update
4. Grab the most current nVidia drivers
Is step 4 required. Since it is a new machine I figured I should go out and
get all the updated drivers. What I am not certain of is as the nVidia
files that I download from Asus any different from what I would get from
Ubuntu's package manager?
TIA,
Dave
