Hello alsofly, You are correct the current DAQmx driver for Linux does not officially support Mandriva 2007 or Suse10. I have included a link to a a KnowledgeBase that might offer more information to make you more successful with using these newer versions of distro of linux.<a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/35D2B5E483A001A18625716B005BE464" target="_blank"> What Linux distributions do National Instruments' drivers and software support?</a> While it is not officially supported, Mandrake has not made major kernel changes between 2006 and 2007, in theory it should continue to work. In the KnowledgeBase the driver is listed as not certified to work with this distribution, but may work with an
appropriate version of NI-KAL installed or other workarounds. Extensive
user testing is recommended before deploying a system using this
configuration.I also found a french <a href="http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=28885&requireLogin=False" target="_blank">discussion forum</a> on a similar product, and the last post states that he was able to use the DAQmx driver on his Mandriva 2007 system. For more information on the supported versions of Linux, check our website for the latest drivers and Linux support information.Regards, Sandra T.Applications Engineer | National Instruments
