[gentoo-user] bootsplash

2003-10-16 Thread Nicholas Potter
I have seen in the forums a ton of info on installing bootsplash for a 2.4
kernel, but what about for the 2.6 kernels?  I don't think they need to be
patched, but can I just install bootsplash and the rest?  If anyone has
experience or can help that would be great.

Thanks

Nick

[gentoo-user] RE: A problem with sound card

2003-09-09 Thread Nicholas Potter
I have the same card on a laptop (i810), and it seems to be loaded in the
kernel, but I will be damned if I can get the sound to work at all.  The
driver is compiled into the kernel, and dmesg gives that it is loading
properly, but I can't get any sound.

Suggestions anyone?

thanks
