Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] VIA Epia Motherboard with EMC/Linux

Someone might want to correct me if it changed recently but the onboard
graphics doesnt work very good due to shared memory being used w/ the VIA
chipset.. So alternate drivers havent worked in the past, (and I tried them
all). But an external card on the available PCI port worked great.. The
problem w/ that is you loose your second parallel port which I needed.

Ray Henry helped me out quite a bit in the past w/ this. If you find a
driver or working solution w/ the BDI's drop me a note. My system is still
sitting here after 6 months. Been doing other projects until I can figure
that one out. I have the "M" version.
