Abit AT7 supported in linux?

Glover · 08-13-2002, 10:58 PM

Hello,
I've been considering an upgrade lately and I have been looking at the Abit AT7 board. I noticed that many things are integrated onto the motherboard and I was wondering if there were any linux problems in using this mobo?

I would be using Redhat linux 7.3

Thanks.

Also, can anybody offer me any advice on what the best choice would be for a new video card? I'd like to get a video card like an ATI all-in-wonder type that has TV output as well as being a nice video card in general, but I want a card that has full (or at least good) linux support.

hello,
i know people who use that board with redhat 7.2 and it works well, most onboard stuff works well and most radeon cards work good, i doubt the latest does though, pretty sure the 8500 does.

I had 3 of them and they refused to even POST after installing Slack 8 and 9. They worked with Red Hat and SuSE though.
