Re: How to enable sound with Intel AC'97 on Sony VAIO GRX316G?
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?

how do I compile a kernel image for 486, not pentium?
After 0) read the documentation that came with kernel-package 1) unpack the source tarball that is installed 2) enter into its directory 3) make menuconfig 4) select your options 5) make-kpkg clean 6) make-kpkg --revision=foo kernel_image 7) install the new kernel-image package 8) reboot My 486 complains that the image was compiled for Pentium+ and halts. How do I tell it to compile for my 486 laptop? Thanks, Drew Cohan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looking at asus laptops
Hi all, I am looking at buying a new laptop and am wondering if anyone has run debian on an ASUS L1400B. First time user of linux on a laptop and would like some confirmation before shelling out $$$. Any help much appreciated.

Re: How to enable sound with Intel AC'97 on Sony VAIO GRX316G?
I had exactly the same problem, on the same machine. First of all, you should try OSS module i810_audio. If you card remains mute, or produces strange sounds as it did for me, you'll have to follow these steps: Update ACPI on your kernel. The reason why the sound card was not correctly working before is related to a IRQ sharing issue solved recently in the ACPI subsystem. the sound works perfectly with the OSS driver Intel ICH (i8xx) module named i810_audio. So you have to: 1. Patch your kernel with the latest version of ACPI, available from http://acpi.sourceforge.net 2. Compile a new kernel with ACPI enabled (I include it in the kernel, not as a module), and choose in the sound config: Sound card support ... Intel ICH (i8xx) ... OSS Sound modules 3. Use the new kernel. I can provide my .config, if it helps, Thomas Mariano Kamp wrote: Hi, lspci -vv gives the following output: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp.

displaying images without X
Does anyone know how Debian 3.0, upon booting up, displays the penguin holding a beer without X being installed? I’ve found the png but can’t find the means the system uses to display this image on boot. I’ve tried to duplicate this behavior with ‘fbi’ but I get ‘only packed pixel buffers supported’. With ‘zgv’, I get a seg fault. All I want to do is display a jpg/gif/png without having X installed. Thanks, Drew Cohan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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?

Anyway, since you're using a vaio, you should use the sonypi driver (located in character devices).

This will install the tarball source under /usr/src. Untar it and read the doc there, specifically the modifications to perform on /etc/modules.conf (/etc/modutils/something on Debian, then update-modules). Using kernel-package package to compile the modules yu need should be simpler. Cheers, Mariano On Fri, 2002-11-01 at 13:50, Thomas Girard wrote: I had exactly the same problem, on the same machine.

The reason why the sound card was not correctly working before is related to a IRQ sharing issue solved recently in the ACPI subsystem. the sound works perfectly with the OSS driver Intel ICH (i8xx) module named i810_audio. So you have to: 1. Patch your kernel with the latest version of ACPI, available from http://acpi.sourceforge.net 2.

Do I need to change something in XConfig? * modprobe sonypi. Check that /dev/sonypi exists. If not, check /var/log/messages. A modinfo sonypi could help you too. * In a xsession, run sjog. If you get a permission denied error, try running sjog as root, just to see if it works. Using this program, you can change sound volume, change brightness, and many other things since it is fully customizable. * You'll probably need to change the permissions on /dev/sonypi or change group of this device.

displaying images without X
Does anyone know how Debian 3.0, upon booting up, displays the penguin holding a beer without X being installed? I’ve found the png but can’t find the means the system uses to display this image on boot. I’ve tried to duplicate this behavior with ‘fbi’ but I get ‘only packed pixel buffers supported’. With ‘zgv’, I get a seg fault. All I want to do is display a jpg/gif/png without having X installed. Thanks, Drew Cohan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
