My mother board uses an nForce2 chipset and nVidia GeForce 4 MX graphics. I am using udev .076 with a 2.6.14-1-k7 kernel installed from linux-image-2.6.14-1-k7_2.6.14-2_i386.deb. Sound works; modules load at boottime. nVidia graphics driver 7174 works. I've had a few odd X crashes, but I've also had X crashes with all of the 2.6 kernels. If you want to try the earlier kernel, you can download it from http://snapshot.debian.net/ -- Jerome
