Civileme, I did as you indicated (or at least I tried to) but I have no sound. Here's a data dump as you suggested to another newbie. [linus@localhost linus]$ cat /etc/modules.conf alias usb-interface usb-ohci alias sound i810_audio probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias eth0 sis900 [linus@localhost linus]$ lspcidrake unknown : Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|735 Host unknown : Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|5591/5592 AGP unknown : Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|85C503/5513 usb-ohci : Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|7001 USB usb-ohci : Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|7001 USB unknown : Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|5513 [IDE] snd-card-intel8x0: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator sis900 : Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]|SiS900 10/100 Ethernet Card:RIVA TNT2 : nVidia Corporation|Riva TNT2 Model 64 unknown : Virtual|Hub [] unknown : Virtual|Hub [] Mouse:USB|Wheel : Logitech Inc.|Mouse [Human Interface Devices|Boot Interface Subclass|Mouse] [linus@localhost linus]$ outputs bash: outputs: command not found Any input would be appreciated.
