Thanks to the help of people here, I've been able to track down the correct set of install instructions for my laptop, a Fujitsu Lifebook L470. (I'm using Fedora Core 1.)
<http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=ESS+Technology&card=ES18xx&chip=ES18xx&module=es18xx> After a month or so of trying, I tracked down the problem I've been having -- not having the kernal source code on my system. (Long story there, but suffice it to say, that it's now safely installed.) (It now compiles cleanly.) But I've run across a new probelm when I'm trying to "insert the modules into the kernel", and was hoping someone might be able to give me a pointer or two... [EMAIL PROTECTED] krikket]# /sbin/modprobe snd-es18xx /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2135.nptl/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2135.nptl/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2135.nptl/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2135.nptl/kernel/sound/isa/snd-es18xx.o: insmod snd-es18xx failed Any thoughts on where to proceed from here? Unfortunately, the hint isn't enough of a clue-by-four to bash the answer into my head...
