Hey I've got sound!! But also another problem. APM seems to have disappeared.........
After my first install of Potato I recompiled the kernel trying to organise sound and APM - simply clicked on the first "enable apm" option and it worked nicely, powering down when we get to the "power off" message at shutdown. For various reasons I decided to re-install (all bad no doubt) and now after five recompiles I cannot persuade the kernel to work, despite having asked for it to be built into the kernel. (I still have the problem that a recompiled kernel simply cannot find the modules I asked to be installed, this despite several detailed and very helpful answers on the list) Is there a package that I haven't installed this time round that must have been there by default on my first try? (apmd is up and running according to boot up message - it shuts down before the computer does!!) Any help would be most appreciated as my machine here doesn't have an off-switch - have to unplug to shut it down....... Thanks for help thus far Glyn M -- ****************************************************** * "The soul is greater than the hum of its parts.
