OPTi cards have always been trouble ... especially the old ones, which have some nasty chip errata (the ones encouraging that driver to say "OPTi workarounds unavailable"). Apparently Apple's Darwin code has workarounds, and they're so nasty that I expect Linux will never merge them. Has this card ever worked on any Linux? If so, when did it stop working? Your best bet may be to use a better add-in PCI card. My general advice is to avoid ones with VIA chips, but I've had plenty of success with USB 2.0 cards that have chips from NEC, ALI, and Philips. No response in 5 months, closing. If this is still a problem, please reopen with the requested information. |
