Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
You have to admit that, from a hardware support point of view, Linux still sucks.

"Try this" or "try that" are not useful answers.

This just in - Faust searches the fucking web, finds this at spot 6 on the google search:

News Todd writes "Allegedly beginners have trouble with installing the Kyro 2 Linux drivers, that's why someone made a tool that should help. Read the description at Sourceforge: "With this tool an automatic script file is produced, which makes the installation of Kyro for II possible drivers on simplest wise."
The tool can be found on Sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kyro2insttool/"

I had no problems setting up my Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 (a KYRO II based card) using the GENERIC-VESA driver. It would quite easily hit 1200x1024 at 16bits, although I did find it to be a little sluggish..

Possibly you should learn how to use this tool properly - it will help a lot with getting to learn Linux. ;)
Faust:
Oh and look at this one (this is old news btw, they're probably finished by now.)-
quote:
News LinuxGames.com is reporting that "in an interview (German) with deferred Power at CeBIT, Imagination Technologies' David Harold stated that Linux drivers for their Kyro II chipset are in development." Great news for all of you Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 owners and great news for the rest of us. When new companies are finally realizing that providing Linux drivers is important, we're finally getting somewhere.

Ok heres the deal-
You go to "www.google.com" by "typing" "www.google.com" into the little white bar into the top of your internet browser. (Note - your internet browser must be open for this to work.) Then, you'll notice the "page" your on changes to show "google." If it doesn't you should be connected to the internet first. Then in the "search" bar you type the name of the card in quotation marks eg: "Hercules 3D Prophet 4500" and then you write "+linux" after that one. Then click the "search" button and stop wasting other peoples time. :D ;)

Why dont you not dismiss other peoples answers when it's obvious from his post that he has found a driver somewhere? If he got a driver in red hat 7 then there will be a driver in other distributions, that's pretty obvious now isn't it?
