via vt1616 ac97 onboard sound

2004-05-03 Thread Frederick Thomas
shalom,
I haven't found any docs to tell me how to get this up and running yet. I have a 
Abit VA-10 mobo with via graphics and sound onboard. I found that Xfree86.org had 
updated to 4.4.0 and was able to install binaries without too much trouble, so I have 
X/Kde up. So
does anyone know how I can do this? I found this viacombo/rpm package on the viaarena
website. It has support for multiple linux's... it that an option? Just point me in 
the right 
direction. thanks

hello again, devfs, hello

2004-01-17 Thread Frederick Thomas
hi 
 I just wondering if anyone is still out there who cn actually help me with the 
problem I'm having with devfs and my sound card. devfs did'nt automatically create any 
node I would normally expect to find , [/dev/snd/;/dev/dsp(although it did create 
dsp0.0 and 0.1);
/dev/audio(for the sparc);and /dev/mixer]. now I know that people are busy, getting 
their own sh*t together, however I have been looking for any documetation other than 
the manpage for the last 3 hours on the web and haven't found a thing. I have an old 
dell
optiplex gx1 with onboard sound that worked fine under freebsd 4.8. I see pcm0 in 
dmegboot, and catting sndstat gives me my card.I just want to know what to do to 
create the necessary nodes step by step... thanks

regarding devfs ...

2004-01-16 Thread Frederick Thomas
Hi,
 
 is there anyone who has documentation other than the manpage for freebsd's
implementation of devfs? I have researched all the websites that I know of and have 
been unable to find any comprehensive doc on the subject. I've been trying to set a
pnp onboard soundcard cs4236 crystal and other than getting the pcm0 message
in the dmesg.boot I've haven't got a clue. Any salient help would be appreciated.
Thanks

once again rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz

2004-01-02 Thread Frederick Thomas
Hello,
 
I'm trying to get some help installing the tarball in the subject line because I do 
not have an internet connection at home, and every time I have tried to build a binary 
from source
I've have been unable to because of some missing dependencies. I'm new to asking for
help but I would like some guidance simply to be able to start developing my own apps
and to be able to help some other poor slub who doesn't have a clue. So, I have freebsd
4.8 with linux compat enabled and I can't get the package to configure because it needs
 autoconf. So if anyone has an answer for me it would be a blessing. Happy New Year!

trouble installing rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz

2003-12-29 Thread Frederick Thomas
shalom,
  I have a question which I hope that you can help me with. I just tried to 
intstall 
rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz on my system[freebsd 4.8] and have not been able to get it to 
./configure let alone make. Is there a special dir, ( /usr/compat/linux?), or 
dependencies
that are required to compile the tarball? My main reason for trying top install a 
package
manager is that I've had problems with gmetadom[lastest] and various other tarballs 
with
limited success. I am attempting to teach myself about unix and could just use a 
pointer
in the right direction. Thank you for your time...

cs4236b crystal onboard sound help

2003-12-15 Thread Frederick Thomas
Shalom,
   I have been trying to avoid contacting you since I know that your engaged, 
however
I have come to the end of my resources. I have a dual boot with win98 and freebsd 4.8
on a Dell Optiplex GX1(tower). I have attempted to configure the sound [crystalcs4236b
onboard audio controller] for the past two months and have had no success. I even 
tried installing the open sound system, [which found the card, but couldn't get the 
audio test to work]. I've ran pnpinfo and it finds it as well, but I still can't get 
the bloody thing to work... So now all I can do is ask for HEELLP
 
 
   
  sincerely yours,
