Thanks everybody in this group, especially Sayamindu Dasgupta, Kinjal Sonpal and Viral Gohil, for your prompt reply. Now, I don't feel Linux as too hard.

I think it's the problem of Trident AGP 3dimage 975 card.But I am still confused, while upgrading from RH Linux 6.1, some of my programs like sndconfig doesn't run. > > while running sndconfig command, it detects my sound card as yamaha card,> > but says the card is not compatiable.

I downloaded alsa files from it's website : alsa-driver-0.5.11.tar.bz2 alsa-lib-0.5.10b.tar.bz2 alsa-utils-0.5.10.tar.bz2 alsa-tools-0.9.0beta8.tar.bz2 I couldn't extract the files using tar -zxf command. So I extracted the files using kde utility in graphical mode. I managed to compile the driver and libs but couldn't compile utils. It says different version. The driver was installed and when I tried modprobe snd-card-ymfpci, I got 'no modules found' error. In the install file of alsa driver, it was stated that yamaha YMF72x card is auto detected. When pnpdump command was used, it gave 'no boards found' message. How can this problem be solved. > > motorola SM56 pci modem. > > I am not sure whether my modem is compatiable in Linux or not. > Your modem is fully compatible in Linux, I also use the same modem, I got > the rpm from the July PCQ. I downloaded the driver file from the motorola website. And installation was perfect. But the modem couldn't be configured. Actually my kernel version is 2.2.16-22.1386. While the cd says RH version 7.1. So, is there some way to install motorola modem in 2.2 kernel. Though motorola has said the driver is for 2.4 kernel only.
