------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-13-10 15:23 ------- Answering Kevin: 1)Please add your comments to bugs that are more applicable, there are a number of bug reports on the Philips Webcam issue (including workarounds), and AFAIK, this bug report has nothing to do with it. 2)The bug isn't in the kernel, but in the ALSA sound drivers (which will be in-kernel in 2.6). Most sound cards are better supported with ALSA than with OSS (the sound system that ships with the 2.4 kernel). 3)No distribution (at least of the commercial distros) ships with stock kernels as the default kernel, since at present there are so many features which don't work as well without 3rd-party patches 4)A "vanilla" 2.4 kernel is available in contrib (but you have to be careful to not use features it does not have ...) 5)There are a number of mailing lists, including [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. Please see the relevant webpage on the Mandrake web site. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: On my acer aspire 1700+ with MDK 9.2rc1 the usb ports donīt work. I had this problem with MDK 9.1 too.lsusb returns a nice 0x00000 even with my webcam and speedtouch modem plugged in. Adding pci usb ports has the same result. I know these ports are from VIA,and they work perfectly with suse live cd 8.2 (That uses kernel 2.4.20). I think it could be a bus system problem, as in MDK 9.1 sound did't work even if it installed and loaded the drivers, and this works with the suse live cd too, Iīm installing KDE and will report on sound as soon as I can. Please try and fix this, without usb I loose my modem, mywebcam, my printer and my scanner. I can send more info on the chips, just let me know how to get it (Cat something in proc, run a script,whatever)
