You may also put those informations inside the file /etc/modutils/aliases and have the module automatically loaded when an access to the sound devices is made. Here what I have in my /etc/modutils/aliases for the sound system: alias sound sb options sound dmabuf=1 post-install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card" options sb io=0x220 irq=6 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 options adlib_card io=0x388 # FM synthesizer Chris -- Looking for a cutting edge | Christophe Broult software validation technology? | <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Check http://www.info.unicaen.fr/lpv | ``Smile, chuckle, giggle''
