Quoting Shanu:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding the i810, the following applies:
The current RHL 6.2 (Zoot) i810 kernel drivers (2.2.14-12) have
problems on certain motherboards. The August PCQ CD-ROM features the
latest RHL 6.2 kernel (2.2.16-3) and an accompanying article on how to
install the kernel. The new kernel fixes the i810 X Windows problem on
most mother boards and also has built in sound drivers for the i810.
Please upgrade at the earliest.
To get the sound working add this line to /etc/conf.modules:
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
Test the sound config by running 'aumix'
NOTE: The OSS i810 sound driver is very very alpha. The alsa drivers
may give you better stability (and features)
See http://www.exocore.com/linux/i810/ for ALSA config stuff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I find that the ALSA drivers work much better than the kernel inbuilt
drivers, so have a go at it - http://www.alsa-project.org/ and
http://www.exocore.com/linux/i810/ for help.
