Hi Lance,
I very well remember these issues with setting up the eSys machines. I
have set up two such machines. The first time, the machine was
pre-installed with Mandrake, so all worked perfectly out of the box. The
second time, I recived SuSE CD's, but I needed to change video settings
in BIOS in order to take advantage of the card. It was something rather
simple that I have well-documened in text somewhere. Either way, I am
far beyonf satisfied with my current eSys machines and I urge more
people to have a look at it.
Assuming we are talking about the exact same machine (it sure sounds
like it), try the distributions I mentioned (I also tried Ubuntu with
success, not just Mandrake and SuSE). If you want me to see my BIOS
settings too, let me know. Once set correctly, Linux will recognise
everything wiithout any user intervention. No need for any drivers
either... for anything...
Best regards,
Roy
