Re: Supported motherboards? (Abit IS7?)

Yeh that board works with FreeBSD 5.2.1-R-p9. However you need to
reflash the latest BIOS as the ACPI seems to be broken and yes the
sound DOES work. You need a rebuild of the kernel though.

 I'm wondering if the onboard sound will work with FreeBSD. It says it is AC97(and a 
 quick google shows that AC97 appears to work with FreeBSD), but you never know..
 If anyone have used this motherboard, or could recommend me one that works with a P4 
 2.8 GHz processor, please reply!

 Thank you for the quick reply!
 
 A rebuild of the kernel is not a problem(though the module can't be loaded as a 
 module?).
 
 

I don't think so. I always include the sound statically in the kernel.
Maybe somone else will be able to help.

 Perhaps you know what option I have to add to the kernel configuration file?

device snd

for 4.* and upto 5.2.1
