Just a side note. I'm using kernel 2.6.0_test8, and alsa support is now builtin in the kernel source tree - alsa-driver is no longer needed. There is at least one new release of the alsa-driver code that is not available on 2.6.0, since the kernel is in final lockdown for release of the 2.6.0 kernel (December?) I'm in no hurry, since the workaround is simple. Also, I could never get the card to work on 2.4.x with alsa-driver. I suspect that the same problem existed there, but I have no interest in reverting to a 2.4.x kernel just to work on this trifling issue. I only discovered the work around after moving to 2.6.0_testn. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
