Who can help me? If you need more information, please let me know! With kind regards Florian You could try using Potato, it supported my Graphical Card (Viper 770) where Slink didn't. This is exactly the case. I have the card mentioned in the original post, and it works well wih potato. The problem is that this card is not supported in the X version that comes with slink. It's supported since version 3.3.3. You can also install a recent version on top of slink if you don't want to upgrade. Bruno.

Brazil is not one immense rain forest, as some people would think. Taupter I don't think the original poster intended to imply that Brazil was uncivilized. Rather, being in the tropical zone, the country gets roughly the same number of hours of daylight all year long and so a summer daylight savings time doesn't make sense. This is true for the northern parts of Brazil (and there's no daylight savings time there), but in the central and southern parts the daylight savings time is useful. If you look in a map, you'll see that part of the country lies outside of the intertropical zone. Bruno.
Re: CMI8338 sound card on board under Linux
C Media, the manufacturer of this chip, has a driver for Linux. You can download it from their site: http://www.cmedia.com.tw/e_snd_drv.htm It is for the 2.2.x kernels, so you'll have to be running one of these. Ciao. Bruno.

PCIUtils in potato detected it. Anyone has got this card to work in Linux? I happen to have the earlier model of this card (the CMI8330), you'll need to recompile your kernel to get this to work properly, and make all the sound files available as modules. If you have a look in your /usr/src/kernel-version/Documentation/sound directory, you'll see a file called CMI8330. Follw the instructions in there, and see how it goes. As far as I know, the CMI8338 is just a PCI version of the CMI8330, though I could be wrong here... (I don't know I've never had one grin). If the above doesn't work, try just using the MSS driver, as the CMI range of sound cards is supposed to be Windows Sound Source Compatible (you won't get all the snazzy features of the card, but at least you'll have sound!).

Two installations on the same system
Is it possible to install two different versions of Debian on the same system (in different partitions, of course!) ? If I do that, do I need a second swap partition? TIA, Bruno.

This is exactly what I want to do. I just tried to do it, but wasn't totally successful because I didn't configure lilo correctly. I was using the unstable version and when I tried to switch back to stable, lilo loaded the incorrect kernel and some things didn't work because of that. How should I configure it in this case? Also, I had a strange problem: I was using the unstable version (second partition) and I mounted the stable one (first partition) in a directory; when I tried to run a program that was in the first partition, bash wouldn't find the program, even when I gave the complete path. The program was shown by ls, but when I tried to run it, bash said no such file or directory ... Bruno.
TV card doesn't work under Linux
Hi! I have a Typhoon TV card but I can't make it to work under Linux. I have the BTTV driver compiled as modules. The driver detects the card as a BT878 (Hauppage old) and outputs the correct configuration (IRQ, memory...) at startup, but the TV program (I'm using kwintv) isn't able to find any channels, so there's no image or sound. Is this card supposed to work with BTTV? Does anyone in the list have this card or know how to make it work? This is the only thing I still need Windows for, so I'd really like to solve this problem! Thanks, Bruno.

Re: Mixer problems
Hi. I solved the mixer problems but I still can't play CDs. Changing the group of the devices didn't work. The CD player is able to access the CD-ROM driver and starts playing, but no sound is heard. And it doesn't give any error messages. TIA, Bruno.

Mixer problems
I've just compiled the kernel with sound support, but I'm having some problems. The devices are working properly (I tested /dev/dsp and /dev/audio sending sound files), but I can't control the mixer channels nor play CDs. When I run xmix, only the DSP channel is available, the others are faded and don't accept input. I can play .wav files normally. What can be wrong? Thanks in advance, Bruno.
Re: Current kernel configuration?
Arcady Genkin escreveu: William R Pentney [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have not compiled my kernel yet, but I want to, and I want to see how it is currently configured. Is there any easy way to do this? I'm not sure. Look for file /usr/src/linux/.config. I'm not sure if it gets installed by Debian installer. Furthermore, do I really need to? I just want to add SoundBlaster support. Instead of upgrading the kernel, could I not just get the source for the current version of my kernel and make the appropriate module? Don't be afraid - compiling a kernel is really easy. Just read the FAQ. It gives you advantage of getting rid of the support for devices/services that you don't use. I would also like to know if there´s some other possibility. I tried to compile my kernel, but had some problems, so I´d like to add SB support temporarily and try to solve the problem later. Thanks, Bruno.
