Hello. I have freezing problems when trying to use the Alsa drivers with my computer, a Dell Latitude with a Neomagic 256AV chip. I have tried many different distributions and different versions of Alsa since 0.5something and I alway get a solid lock up.
I used to get the same error with the OSS drivers, but it was solved by patching the kernel removing the line 899, which is: nm256_writePort8 (card, 2, 0x6cc, 0x87); and apparently initialises the mixer. Is there any solution for Alsa? I have looked in the archives and tried to set the top end of the buffer in memory, but so far I have had no luck whatsoever. I want to use kernel 2.2.20 as only 2.2 series kernels are supported by my version of VMWare. Please, reply to me on this address, as I have not joined the list. Thanks very much Gabriel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
