Now about the rant; I only ran 5.x because 4.10 didn't undestand UFS2, and I was stuck to start again with 5.x. Doing that with the only burned cd I had home, 5.1, I guessed I had to do some cvsupping before getting things to work properly, and used the standard-supfile for it to get anything to work at all. So there's my reason. I remembered there shouldn't be any questions on latest devel version on here, so I am sorry about that.

Soundcards on 6-current
Hi, Is there support on 6.0-current for soundcards? I put the usual device pcm on kernconf, but it says it don't know about that. I tried device sound, it compiles, but there don't come support. If it's not supposed to, sorry for this message.

BEGIN RANT Why is everyone running 6 current and expecting it to work? They just created that branch recently and I seriously doubt that its even close to usable. We could run 5-Current because it was pretty far along.. 6 is new. Last time i looked at the handbook it said NOT to run CURRENT unless you are a developer/know what you are doing. I think 5.3 beta is bleeding edge enough for everyone. Based on recent posts, i've concluded that several video cards and possibly sound cards are currently broken in 6-Current plus maybe some NICs.Translation: Don't try this at home. Another reason not to adopt 6 so early is that it encourages port maintainers to screw over people on stable versions. I had to upgrade to 5 early because of broken ports. Lets not go through that again. I know technically that only the ports tree that comes with a release is officially supported, but then again everyone always recommends CVSUPing the ports on Questions. Besides, who wants to run outdated and possibly insecure versions of software. END RANT On Sep 11, 2004, at 11:10 AM, Mikko Heiskanen wrote: Hi, Is there support on 6.0-current for soundcards?

Noticed this when I started playing with 5x, but you will need to mess with it a bit since support for sound cards has not been distributed around to multiple devices now. Look in /boot/kernel for files named snd_* and one of those will be the one you want, if the sound chip set you have is supported. Or loading snd_driver should work too. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

They just created the RELENG_5 branch. Head or tag=., is still head.The name just became 6-current. You probably only need to kldload snd_driver to have sound. Look at you dmesg and see what was loaded. Kent Last time i looked at the handbook it said NOT to run CURRENT unless you are a developer/know what you are doing.
