You forgot to mention which version of Red Hat and/or XFree86 you are using. Searching the web I found the following notes: Intel 440MX, i810, i815 series Dumb onboard sound drivers feeding either onboard or AMR (audio modem riser) codecs. These are supported from 2.2.16 onwards. 2.2.17 is recommended for best results. Features depend in part on the AMR or onboard codec. Be sure to get one supporting rate-adaption. ("intel i815 linux sound") (http://www.linux.org.uk/OSS/) and And I can confirm you that some configurations are catastrophic with the Intel i815 chipset. Just after installation, the servers were crashing every two or three hours, I solved that by deactivating the GLX extension and direct rendering (fortunately I don't need that). Now it crashes every three weeks, that's better, but yet to be improved! :o) ("intel i815 linux") (http://bizforums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x8ff4e822e739d711abd c0090277a778c,00.html) Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste?
