Thank you for that. It can be a bit confusing working out all the names for Solaris! On my Blade 2000 I'm running the standard release (Solaris 10 update 4), so I know where I am with the Blade. But on the x86 laptop there are clearly advantages to having a later version, but on these other versions, its a bit more confusing what people refer to. > If the audio module > wasn't already > loaded it should be safe to load the newer one you > copied over the > old, nothing else should be needed. It is loaded: # /usr/sbin/modinfo | grep audio 157 fffffffff7cf2000 7940 62 1 audiohd (HD Audio Driver1.11) 159 fffffffff7d16000 3c08 - 1 audiosup (Audio Device Support 1.24) 227 fffffffff83e1000 3ab8 242 1 lx_audio (linux audio driver 'lx_audio' 1) I assume I would need to use modunload, then copy the two files mentioned above, then use modload. According to my download manager I should have the final part downloaded in about an hour. I'll then copy the binaries off of there. > SXCE (An acronym as is SXDE) is the correct name for > the distributon. > SXCE is updated bi-monthly, while SXDE which has > limited support form > Sun is released quarterly, but both are still called > Nevada. Thank you for that. BTW, I did get a response from Sony about the audio chip, telling me the SigmaTel part number. I contacted SigmaTel to find some information, but apparently they have sold the PC audio business to IDT (http://www.idt.com/). I asked them for some information, but got no reply. They actually have a lot of technical data on their web site, but my attempts to find out the IDT number of my SigmaTel chip were not successful. So those involved in writing the drivers might like to take a look there, if they were not already aware of it (which I guess they were). Dave This message posted from opensolaris.org
