I have the same chip working on my machine (a Gateway 7VAX motherboard with the same chipset).
You will need kernel-source-2.4.20 and kernel-headers-2.4.20 installed to do the compilation, not just kernel-package. If you do have these, make sure your driver download is pointing at the right kernel source. Other than these I'm out of ideas (for now). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu On Tue, 4 Mar 2003, Tim Wood wrote: > Hi, > I upgraded my m/b to an Epox 8K5A2 with the Via KT333 chipset but > including the VT8235 Southbridge (normally part of the KT400) with a > RealTek ALC650 Codec (AC97). > > Realtek's website includes driver source for the Alsa-0.9.0rc5 > (alcsound.tar.bz2).
