Ok, I got sound working. In fact I believe I discovered an UNWANTED FEATURE in # modconf
When I first tried to use modconf to insert the module, I specified the wrong parameters and the module installation failed. The modconf utility wrote the parameters to /etc/conf.modules anyway and when I DID actually specify the correct parameters with modconf or manually using the modprobe command, the old parameters in /etc/conf.modules were still in the file. Here is the UNWANTED FEATURE I see in modconf. If a module installation fails with modconf, it should not write the parameters to /etc/conf.modules . I suppose I can take a look at fixing it. Where do I find the source for modconf, and who is the maintainer? brian On Sat, Sep 04, 1999 at 03:30:24PM -0700, Brian E.
