Well, I've gone to another Compaq laptop. The previous one I had to
resort to OSS (yuck) drivers and send it on its way. This laptop is
one I'm going to use, so I'd like to get ALSA working on it.
So... I've loaded ALSA and put the following in 'modules.conf':
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx
options snd-es18xx index=1 id=1 enable=1 isapnp=0 port=0x220 ...
mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x338 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0
(please excuse the line wraps)
But alas, nothing works. I even tried using the sound blaster stuff
mentioned in the other part of this email (nope, doesn't work either).
So, what IS the deal. This ought to work. I'm trying to do this on a
Compaq Presario 1244, Alsa V 1.0.3, Kernel 2.4.20 (RH-9).
