And from /etc/rc.local I call vxloader. You can find it in
the alsa-tools package.
Note, a post-install line in /etc/modules.conf like the
following
post-install vxpocket /usr/local/bin/vxloader
didn't work for me. Either vxloader or the card manager
failed to do their job, don't remember.
this is because of the sequence of pcmcia cardmgr.
the module is loaded with the non-initialized state, and then cardmgr
tells the driver the hardware information to initialize.
since post-install script is invoked immediately after the module is
loaded, it still cannot initialize the hardware correctly.
Aha, that's more or less what I had concluded, things can't be done in
the proper order here. The problem with this stuff is not so much that
it doesn't work at first, but that the page about (in this case) the
vxpocket sound card doesn't provide the appropriate info to get the card
going. It's just a template page (as it is for all cards). Personally I'd
prefer to see *one* page describing the general case for setting up a sound
card and then a sound card specific page only if one has been written.
False or useless information is sometimes worse than no information.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Theo
