Well, I just tested in-kernel 2.6.20 and alsa-driver 1.0.14_rc3 both work equally well with my Intel HDA in my IBM ThinkPad Z60m. The only reason I changed to alsa-driver was when there was a mismatch between alsa-lib and the 32 bit alsa-lib on ~amd64. I'll see if the in-kernel drivers work now (via-82xx). Based on my fond experiences with ipw2200, rt2500 and rt2x00, once something is in-kernel it just seem to work better, IMO. Thanks Roy -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
