I'm very favorably impressed with Debian 2.2r3. However, I havn't been able to get the built-in sound working on my Dell Dimension XPS R400. This is supposed to be a Crystal Semiconductor CS4236. The cs4232 module comments indicate that they support this chip, but seem to expect it on an ISA pnp board rather than the PCI bus.
The error I get from modprobe is: obfuscate:/home/blarson# modprobe cs4232 /lib/modules/2.2.19pre17/misc/cs4232.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.2.19pre17/misc/cs4232.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.19pre17/misc/cs4232.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.19pre17/misc/cs4232.o: insmod cs4232 failed The /proc/pci listing for the sound: Bus 0, device 11, function 0: Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic Unknown device (rev 1). Vendor id=1013. Device id=6001. Medium devsel. IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=24 . Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf4100000 [0xf4100000]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf4000000 [0xf4000000]. IRQ 9 is a shared interupt, with the USB controller and both ethernet boards on it as well. (Is there any way to control PCI interrupt assignment -- this seems sub-optimal. My ethernet gets a lot more traffic than my SCSI tape drive.) -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html "Text is a way we cheat time." -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
