Hm. I forgot about adding the "hints.*"; but catenating /dev/sndstat indicates that I use snd_sb16.ko and compiling that in gives me a bunch of fatal undefines. So I added "snd_sbc" to the KERNCONF and am recompiling. Shouldn't be this hard; this worked with REdhat, just straightaway. .... gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
