Until now I was used to run Fedora core 4 on a PIII class computer without any major
problem.
Recently I have built a new computer based on an ASUS K8N4-E mother board+Sempron 3100+
CPU (64 bits)+ASUS AX300SE-X graphics card.
I tried to install Fedora core 4 and first I got problems with a SATA disk (Fedora not
able to detect it). I have installed a PATA drive instead of the SATA one and then I could
install core 4 but since I experience problems with sound (which is no more available) and
with my USB memory key (which is no more readable). I also tried to install ATI drivers
and could not compile them, consequently I keep poorest graphics performances than with my
old TNT2 graphics card and my PIII CPU (even with OpenGL programs)!
As soon as Fedore core 5 has been available I tried to install it and I have experienced
the same kind of problems (no sound, no USB key, poor graphics performances). I tried to
upgrade the kernel without getting better behaviour.
To check my hardware I have installed a Windows XP SP2 (sorry) and everything appears to
run smoothly. I have also tried to install a Mandriva free distribution, sound and USB
work, graphics performances are better.
Has someone else experienced the same kind of problems with this hardware configuration?
If yes thank you to help me finding a solution, until now I have too much appreciated
Fedora distribution to let it down.
