Bonjour Thomas,
yes, that seems to be part of the solution. I have been using the ACPI
patch already, but now I also compiled the oss driver and have been a
bit more successful than before.
So the current situation is:
* Modules are not loaded automatically
* but when loaded by hand
* xmms does work and outputs that it used OSS
* kde sound does not work (when logging in it complains about
/dev/dsp permision denied)
* gnome is quiet too
What should I do next?
What about alsa? I read that alsa is now the way to go, but oss. I
didn't find a alsa howto nor a package below /usr/doc. Where should I
look?
Cheers,
Mariano
