'ello, [ As usual, I have searched on Google and various list archives, but haven't found anything that answers my questions... ]
Having just installed Sarge (and getting /dev/pmu to work :-)) I have been fiddling around with ALSA. I managed to successfully insert the module for the powermac sound card (the only seemingly appropriate one I could find). Alsaconf was unable to set it up right, for some reason. Anyway, I have the modules, but no sound. The device nodes are there (/dev/dsp0 for example). The system give the impression of working fine (no error messages at all) but simply doesn't make any noise. According to Google I appear to be along the right lines. Any ideas? Finally, for some reason pbbuttonsd is not supporting my backlit keyboard -- all the tabs are greyed out in powerprefs. I know it works 'cos I've seen it in OS X -- am I missing another device node? I have /dev/adb. I don't have APM emulation but I'd be surprised if I needed that to get the keyboard to light up. I have to say that, despite these little issues, I am extremely impressed by how easy Sarge is to set up nowadays. bye just now, Matthew === lsmod output === oberon:~# lsmod Module Size Used by snd_powermac 44304 0 snd_pcm_oss 68136 0 snd_pcm 119768 2 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 13480 1 snd_pcm snd_timer 29348 1 snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 23232 1 snd_pcm_oss ipv6 309956 10 ds 23716 2 snd 67320 5 snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss soundcore 11812 1 snd af_packet 21096 2 joydev 12000 0 usbhid 53888 0 ohci_hcd 26244 0 uninorth_agp 8544 1 agpgart 41932 1 uninorth_agp tsdev 8640 0 evdev 11968 2 eth1394 24680 0 ehci_hcd 37060 0 usbcore 134184 5 usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd sungem 36868 0 crc32 4832 1 sungem sungem_phy 10240 1 sungem ohci1394 41924 0 yenta_socket 23264 0 pcmcia_core 73140 2 ds,yenta_socket sr_mod 23332 0 sbp2 28080 0 scsi_mod 114496 2 sr_mod,sbp2 ieee1394 448168 3 eth1394,ohci1394,sbp2 ide_cd 50596 0 cdrom 49244 2 sr_mod,ide_cd ext3 130256 2 jbd 71416 1 ext3 mbcache 10116 1 ext3 ide_disk 27232 3 unix 31960 365 oberon:~# -- Matthew T.
