Gain 100karma points! :) I am also pure in this regard ;), so I've had to figure out getting these settings without DOS: You want isapnptools (section base) (and possibly pciutils (section admin)). As root, run pnpdump -c >> foo look at foo; this should contain all the settings you want. If it is a PCI card and the above doesn't work, then try lspci -vv >>bar In either case, having set up the kernel OK, you'll want to move foo to /etc/isapnp.conf; this will run the script you created earlier at boot-up (and initialise the card to those settings). It's also worth looking at Documentation/sound in your linux source tree, and using the latest kernel (2.2.1) HTH, Matthew p.s a few notes on recompiling your kernel. I prefer menuconfig to xconfig (YYMV though). Either way, go through all the options systematically, and read the relevant help screens; generally try not to include too much, and consider having things as modules (I particularly recommend sound in this regard).... -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Steward of the Cambridge Tolkien Society Selwyn College Computer Support http://www.cam.ac.uk/CambUniv/Societies/tolkien/ http://pick.sel.cam.ac.uk/ Debian GNU/Hurd - love at first byte
