Hello List, I have the subject motherboard with an amd xp2800+ cpu and a Sapphire radeon 9700pro ultimate graphics card. I am using the 2.4.23-ck1 kernel. I have followed all the guides and tried every which way, including source dowloads from alsa, but can't get the via82xx sound module to even be found let alone run. I can get the intel8x0 sound module to run, but it seems odd that it is the Via VT82C686B chip that is identified by grep audio /proc/pci, not the intel chip. Then there is the nvaudio module which has unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/... and has to be hashed out in /etc/modules.autoload.d. The lans both run so nvnet does work.
Presently, I have no sound following an alsa source download to try to find the via82xx module and get a missing /dev/dsp report on KDE start. Again, having followed the guides, when I glxinfo | grep rendering I find no rendering. Then there is a message about the elusive char-major-226. This is all very tedious, not being able to get past first base with my gentoo system. I obviously have the wrong hardware, but I can't change that. I can include reams of actions and results but there may be no need if someone has managed to get full audio and drm working with this mobo and can kindly tell me how. I have attached /etc/modules.conf in case there is a major fault there. Thanks for any assistance. -- Dennis Robertson 2/2 Sylvia Street Noosaville QLD Australia Phone: 61 7 54742343 Mobile: 0419 535539
