Lame excuse Frank. ;) You just didn't care to look as your mind was already made up to buy the GigaByte board. Look at the underlined below. http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/DH55TC/DH55TC-overview.htm Peripheral interfaces * Up to twelve USB 2.0 ports * Six Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s ports with two ports compatible with eSATA * _One serial port header_ * One parallel port header * One back panel PS/2 connector If it doesn't come in the box you buy one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200466&cm_re=serial_port_header-_-12-200-466-_-Product When there's a will, there is a way. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

What recommendations can be offered on PCI or add-in card RS-232 cards? How well do they perform in terms of the Linux OS? How well suited are they for capturing kernel boot messages? An they can be used to provide a serial console, like a tty right? -M _________________________________________________________________ Take your contacts everywhere http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9712959
From: Frank Miles on 23 Mar 2010 12:00 To Pasi: Sound has worked without any particular intervention - straight ALSA. I don't do anything complex with the sound system, though. As far as the video - while I'm presently using a custom-compiled kernel, I'm fairly sure I was getting the same rates with the stock 2.6.32 kernel available in 'testing'. I got a private e-mail telling me how I could do much better with a separate card - and I'm sure that's true. But [a] I'm not a gamer - so I don't really need super high rates - it is perfectly good enough for rotating 3-d math plots or views of devices; and [b] the low power consumption is important to me. Having a quiet machine is great! To Stan: I don't upgrade my computers very often. The last time I did, network cards seemed pretty much all operable with Linux drivers - including RealTek. This has been a real disappointment to find that something has gone backwards as far as Linux compatibility. -Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I absolutely agree that it should all just work. The reason for my playful jab about the serial port is that I recommended the Intel board exactly because of the Realtek chip on the GigaByte board, but then you bought the GigaByte board anyway, against my recommendation. At that time I don't recall you mentioning needing a serial port. Maybe I have you confused with another OP here. If so, my apologies. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Actually I was referring to xorg driver. Do you use intel driver there? > I got a private e-mail telling me how I could do much better with a > separate card - and I'm sure that's true. I have a Matrox G550 card in my old machine and video performance has never been an issue. If the new integrated Intel graphics are comparable, I'm quite satisfied.
