Hi, I own a Omnibook XT1000 with exactly the same Problem with sound and ACPI. I solved it like that (and wondered about Your way with building a .deb): -I patched the original kernel.org source (2.4.19) with the ACPI Patch from Sourceforge (You need the newest and fitting version...) -Then a #make menuconfig (I assume that we have nearly the same hardware configuration... So if You want I can send You my .config) -After that a #make dep bzImage modules modules_install -Then a #cp arch/i386/boot/bzimage /boot/vmlinuzNEW -After that I of course needed to edit my lilo.conf -Then a #lilo And after a reboot everything worked :-) Except some acpi functions. But that isn't my fault. The specifications of the ACPI standard are not strict enough, so every manufacturer has his "own" ACPI... A helpful link for You should be Stefan Bellon's page: http://www.sbellon.de/xt1000.html cheers, Max -- there are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't. -------------------- Think about TCPA Don't let entertainment industry cut Your rights!
