That hasn't been true since a bit back. They decided that discover and hotplug work well enough that /etc/init.d/alsa should no longer handle the loading and unloading of modules. All it does now is run alsactl to save/restore mixer settings. It'll have to be done manually, which is an ugly process of trying to rmmod things until you find something that something else doesn't need, whittling the modules away layer by layer. (Or if there *is* a better way, I'm all ears. I *miss* /etc/init.d/alsa restart.) -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
