/ "Miguel A. Figueroa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:
| I guess what has me confused is that a base install would have working
| pcmcia modules but and dselect/alsa-modules-2.2.17 would cause all of
| these weird problems. Anyone want to advise as to how I should proceed?
I haven't tried woody yet because I think it uses XFree 4.x and the
VMWare folks aren't supporting that yet. Besides, this is my
production laptop we're talking about, so I'm just a little
cautious...
What I did to get sound working on my 8100 under stable was the
following:
1. Download the kernel sources, build and install a custom kernel.
(In my experience, the stock kernels contain all sorts of stuff
I'll never need on my laptop.)
2. Download the latest ALSA sources, build and install drivers from
there.
3. Read the excellent sound info at
http://wtsupport.metatec.net/technotes/alsasound-tecra8100.html
Good luck!
Be seeing you,
norm
