mandriva 2006 on hp zv6000
Hello all,
Has anyone tried to install mandriva's 2006 beta on hp zv6000? Thanks... |
It should work, though you prolly won't have 3d acceleration. The video card doesn't have linux support yet. Almost everything should work, but just in case: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36991

I'm pretty happy with Fedora Core 4 x86_64 on my zv6015. I can only get the Mesa 3d drivers to work but I'm still fiddling with the ATI drivers when I have the time. Also, the PCMCIA support is problematic and the only way to get the wireless LAN to work appears to be ndiswrapper.
|
Yes I have everything working except the media drivers using the Beta 2 of Mandriva 2006 the install of the ati rpm was a pain I had to use --force and --nodeps and I had to use ndiswrapper for the wireless card. One word for it SWEEEEEEEET
|
Hey I installed Mandriva 2006 64 BIT on my zv6000. I can't get the wireless drivers working. I am using ndiswrapper but when I go to install with the GUI it says that the driver can not be installed. I am trying to get the netbc564 driver working.
|
If i remember correctly ndiswrapper driver install also requires firmware installed to correct location and using latest xp driver before everything works. What module does netbc564 need? Is madwifi available for Mandriva?
|
Sorry but I am new to Linux and don't understand most of it. How can I tell which module is needed? I have no idea if madwifi is supported or not.
|
I have a zv6000, and my wifi uses the broadcom chipset. I didn't think you could use madwifi, only ndiswrapper with the bcmwl5a drivers (for 32 bit).
