Have not, but will on next reboot. However the chances are slim to none. This box only began its career as a gentoo box a few weeks ago when my existing box gave up the chase ... a disk controller problem I was to dumb to solve and scrapped the whole thing. This box (athlon64 +3200) was previously an winxp video crunching (Edit and transpose) box. And had sound working all the time. I've made no changes bios wise. But will report what I find later. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
