I just bought a HP Pavilion 8754C Pentium III with 30 GB HD and decided
to install a stable version of Mandrake. (I test linux software on my
E-Machine which is a Celeron 366) I installed the cdrom version 7.1
which has the kernel version 2.2.15-4mdk with it. This computer has
shared memory instead of videoram on the video chip, so when linux
installed it thought it did not have much video memory as well as not
recognizing it, so it gave me a very low level resolution xwindow. I
corrected it by using the X Configuration in DrakeConf by forcing a
higher resolution setting ,i.e., 1024x768 and 16 million colors (24
bits) and experimenting with other graphic card drivers in the supplied
Intel group. My xwindows works fine now.
Here is the question. The kernel does not recognize my sound card.
I get the following info from the Windows OS in this computer.
Device: Crystal WDM Audio Codec
Resources:
IRQ: 09
I/O: 1200h-12FFh
I/O: 1300h-0301h
Device: MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device
Resources:
IRQ: 05
I/O: 0300h-0301h
If anyone can suggest where to find the modules for this and if thee are
OSS or alsa and if they should work with the above kernel version or if
I should upgrade to a later beta kernel version.
Thank you very much,
Rick Mercer
