Kent (or anyone else who knows), How did you get your onboard AC'97 chipset (via8233) working? I've just bought a Gigabyte GA-7VRX motherboard with this chip and can't get sound working. I'm running woody, with kernel 2.4.19 (from kernel-source-2.4.19-1) and I tries installing the alsa packages, but every time I got the via8233 module (and it's dependancies) loaded, my whole system froze - network, keyboard - hard reset necessary. I can't find any relevant messages in the logs. If it is of any relevance, I'm running the NVIDIA kernel and GLX modules for my GeForce 4MX. If you've got step-by-step instructions, or some hints for where to look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Bec -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
