You won't need isapnptools if you've got a pnp bios -- it'll take care of the pnp end of things for you. Yes, BUT how will you know what settings the BIOS has assigned it to tell the sound driver? I have a PnP BIOS and still use isapnptools. Windows wouldn't need PnP support if it were this simple.

Hamish On my system, the PnP card is initialized to the same values every time (whatever default values the card prefers), so once you know what it initializes to after the first bootup, you can safely predict what it will initialize to subsequently. On systems with multiple PnP cards that conflict in their preferred configurations things might be more complicated. -- Ed -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
