This driver should work in 2.4.x, and either way the OOPS is unacceptable. > * #286267: loading snd-sun-cs4231 module fails to create /dev/dsp via udev > As a first step I tried making sound work :-) (it appears to work fine > for the submitter).

The DMA handling in this driver needs some serious fixing. I wasted a week or so converting the old 2.4.x driver into an ALSA driver and that was enough for me :-) > * #305691: cg6 framebuffer seems to be screwed with 2.6.8 kernel.

Yes, all the necessary kernel level fixes should be in the current 2.6.x kernel sources, just diff your 2.6.8 drivers/video/cg6.c with the current driver. The color maps weren't setup correctly and all sorts of other problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
