Sound works with the NVIDIA nForce driver, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_amd64_1.0-0310.html

3D acceleration doesn't work yet but NVIDIA has said that the next release of the NVIDIA driver will support it.

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.12-17mdk-i586-up-1GB ; 2.6.14.2mdk-i586
Distribution: Mandriva Linux 2006 Powerpack ; Mandriva One 2006 Club


Everything that i do not mention thereafter worked straight out of the box on Mandriva 2006 :)

Now here is what makes trouble with this hardware on Mandriva 2006 (Powerpack & latest "One")

* nVidia Corporation|MCP51 AC97 Audio Controller [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] doesn't work at all.
- Updating everything doesn't even make the system be aware there's an onboard Audio card.
- Compiling latest NForce driver didn't solve it neither.
- Compiling latest Alsa did not solved that problem, even if the system then recognize the Audio Chip. One guy suceeded though

* nVidia Corporation|MCP51 Ethernet Controller [BRIDGE_OTHER] did not work for Mandriva 2006 Powerpack without compiling NFORCE proprietary driver.
Mandriva One 206 Club recognized it straight out of the box.

* Integrated GeForce 6100 is not recognized ; works with VESA driver from xorg only.

works perfectly with latest updates.

3d acceleration does not work with nVidia distribution, must use vesa standard untill all updates have been loaded.

Have not tried SATA yet
