For kicks I emerged the development-sources. I assume this is the 2.6 kernel you are talking about. I have no real intention of building this kernel, but I wanted to look around a bit. Alsa sound is an option when I run make xconfig, which is good, and it appears that everything is ready to go, but when I look in drivers I do not see a sound directory. So, where is Alsa in this kernel? Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
