Intel® Desktop Boards Based on the Intel® 865 Chipset

The Red Hat* Linux* Desktop Version 3 Update 3 distribution supplies the LAN and graphics drivers for devices integrated into the chipset and motherboard on systems built with these boards.  This distribution does not supply the AC ’97 Audio Driver.

NOTE:  Add-in peripheral adapters that can be plugged into available PCI Slots on the board could require vendor-specific drivers.  

Follow these steps to install the AC ’97 Audio Driver:

  1. Load the Intel Quick Start Kit for Linux product CD into your system’s CDROM drive.

  2. Log onto the system as root.

  3. At the Linux shell prompt, change directory to

<cdrom_drive>/drivers/audio/RH

  1. Run the sound installation and configuration script ./audio_install

  2. Remove the CD from the CD ROM drive.

  3. Reboot the system.

NOTE:  You do not need to update the graphics or LAN drivers.
