Gnome is running much better than a couple of years ago! Right now using mozilla
while building openoffice.org. It runs openoffice.org 2.0 at an acceptable speed

I'll enable it, hopefully it will hit 2.6.14-3. I'll try to build new 
images today or tomorrow and make them available for testing.

No, it's turned off.  (See my post earlier today concerning the latest
package and a bug report about it.)

It isn't included in the Debian package.  It sounds as though that
merits a bug report.  Maybe I just needed to mess with volume

Thanks.

Sound has been working perfectly for me with 2.6.9 and earlier (custom kernel),
using ALSA (module is called snd_ali5451). I haven't tried 2.6.11 and later, as
those had serious framebuffer (and X11) problems on my machine.

If you want, I can give you my kernel config and/or deb, but I didn't do
anything special.

BTW: do you have a working framebuffer in 2.6.12? On my machine, I'm missing the
first character of every line, and some characters are messed up (if I remember
correctly).

Regards

Admar

Dave,

I have sound working nicely on sunblade 100 debian/unstable using stock 2.6.13
kernel source from upstream the only configured change was to build module
snd_ali5451. I suppose it should work with the debian kernels just use modprobe
and make sure are soundcore and snd modules loaded too? See the list of
dependencies below.
 
For volume control I use the gnome desktop volume control set to ALI5451 Alsa
Mixer and turn all the volume controls to minimum then try increase PCM and
MASTER volume to get best results. It seems work fine with the oss mixer
selected too.

By the way it then works "out of the box" with vlc and mozilla plugins to play
from some broadcast video streams (windows media is ok but not real) and mov
files etc. and the sound effects (wav) from the desktop. But I could not get the
Java Media Framework fully operating with gij and havent tried any different
sounds such as mp3 yet.  anything with xine will just crash.

sound on blade 100

2005-11-09 Thread Dave Love
Is it possible to get sound working on a blade 100?  What looks like
the relevant module for the audio isn't included in the 2.6.12
package, at least, and when I built it separately I got garbage out of
the headphones I connected.  The card is:

Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio 
Device (rev 01)
