found only slackware 9.1, and vector 4.0 (and 4.0rc2) would get the km400m video driver correctly. redhat 9.1, and fedora core1 both id'd it as a km133m! mandrake 9.0, and 9.1 both failed as well.
the temp sensors are off.
it is overclockable by fsb adjustment. i've run it at 20% OC, though now run it at 15%. running folding w/ an athlon xp 1800+tbred at 2100+. motherboard has realtek 8100C lan that uses the 8139 drivers ok., will run 166mhz cpu's- not sure if it will OC higher for the 166mhz cpu's (does for the 133mhz fsb cpu's). temp sensors being off, and video drivers are the major negatives.

Kernel (uname -r):
Distribution:
Mandrake Linux 10.1 & 9.2
The config:
AMD Sempron 2400+
GA-7VM400M
256 MB DDR RAM
80 GB Samsung HDD
52X CDROM
Installed WinXP and updated to Service Pack 2, no problems there. But on installing Mandrake-Linux 10.1 everything goes of well but for the GUI. Even the GUI works but none of the text on the buttons and menus are rendered. This also happens with Mandrake-Linux 9.2. Both I find uses the default VESA driver. Onboard graphics is via the KM 400 chipset. Wonder if the X people (XOrg & XFree86) have a proper driver for it ! Wonder if I get the latest drivers for it if it will work ?
