What distro supports the Asus P5VD2-VM chipset?


Heya.

I got an Core 2 Duo E4300 with a Asus P5VD2-VM. The chipset is a VIA P4M900 / VIA VT8237A.

Installing SuSE 10, the OS canīt recognize the onboard LAN (Iīve disabled it and Iīm using an old pci card), and canīt recognize the onboard VGA either - Iīve even installed the drivers from VIA site, but then the X server went down with fatal error.

What I want to know if is there any distribuition of Linux which natively support this god-forsaken chipset.

Thanks!

The HCL is a good place to start.

Have you checked the HCL?
