I know there was a big thread about this earlier in December, but no one since has said anything about it. :)
Just got my new E520. Core 2 Duo, 965 chipset, and no sound support in 10.2 to speak of. It looks like it's deliberate, based on the information at http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Sound_Cards ... of course, I'm not even sure that the current 2.6.19.2 kernel would support this motherboard audio properly. Analog audio out and SPDIF. <sigh> Well, you can install the current alsa 1.0.14rc1 over the top of the 2.6.18-34 kernel and make it give you *all* the options. :) Just build ONLY the snd_hda_intel modules, and only use the install-modules target to install it. Minimum disruption to the existing kernel install. Lots of stuff in the changelog for that version about new PCI ID's for Dell machines, and fixes/changes to the Sigmatel support as well. I couldn't find anything in the list archives, but did find some stuff for other distributions on the 'net. :) Anyway, figured I'd make my first post to the list at least vaguely constructive.... -- Marc Wilson | "The porcupine with the sharpest quills gets stuck [EMAIL PROTECTED] | on a tree more often." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
