Not sure if this is a bug or not....

I have an Aptiva 545 with an on board ESS Solo sound chip.
I installed a Guillemot sound card and 7b does not detect the new card.
I cannot disable the ESS in my bios, so I know its a software issue.
I formatted and re-installed Oxygen, but it made no diff....
It probably does'nt help that  I'm a rank newbie either.

Thoughts?

BTW, for someone who knowingly and purposely stays partially ignorant in
Linux issues ;),
(my type will make or break the home user market) I have to say that
this release is
the first  I've used where I got a dialup connect right out of "box"...
I have tried every current distro out there, including M6.1, and
Mandrake 7b is the only one.
The rest are flamming (flames) jigsaw puzzles.
Nice job guys & dolls.  This is the future of linux for psuedo geeks
like me,
we just wanna surf the web with all the cool eye candy (Kowz in KDE) and

play with all the neato non w98 stuff...
TIA
Bill
