 Which model?

The old one: 701 

 
 I have Debian Unstable + grml-etc-core on my 901, and i think the webcam 
 just 
 worked quite all kernels i did try.
 ( tested with mplayer tv:// )
 
 However, i do now run a 2.6.28-rc kernel because i had problems with alsa, 
 wlan and suspend/resume with older kernels.
 
 ( if you want to try my latest build:
 http://s8472.dyndns.org/~worf/linux-image-2.6.28-rc7_custom.1.0_i386.deb
 )
 

Thanks a lot, I'll definitely try that as
soon as I find the time!

Greetings, 

David

 Did you load uvcvideo?

Thanks a lot, as a matter of fact, I did
not. Still, it doesn't seem to get my camera
working. But this could be a problem either
in Skype (2.0.0.72) or with my hardware.

[Grml] grml on Asus eee-pc 700 -- Alsa problem

2008-08-10 Thread david . feest
Hello listmembers, 

I bought an eee-pc 700 and installed grml, since although I'm by no means a 
system admnistrator it provides me with exactly the software   
I need in everyday life! The installation  went fine and I set up a nice 
lightweight system using wmii as a windowmanage -- grml sems to be the ideal 
solution for a rather slow mini computer!

One problem remains:  I can't get the sound started. While there seems to be no 
problem configuring Alsa with alsaconfig, alsamixer gives me: 

  alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument

and amixer says:

  amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument


Now, I've googled the problem and read that this can happen due to incompatible 
versions of the kernel and alsa. But that's impossible in this case, since on 
other computers, grml works out of the box . 

The sound card is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 
82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family)

Does anyone in the list have a clue? And is there anybody else using rml on an 
eee-pc?

Thanks in advance, 

David
