We just got sunray 4.3 to run on ubuntu linux 11.04 ... but we had to dowgrade the kernel to 2.6.34 (thanks to ubuntu kernel ppa this was quite simple) ...
The problem with newer kernels is two fold. a) the sunray kernel modules still make use of the big bad kernel lock via ioctl interfaces. Since the lock has finally been slain the modules are not compile anymore ... the ioctl calls they to be replaced by unlocked_ioctl ops ... http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/1/8/548252 b) with the 11.04 kernel ubuntu has finally kicked the remaining OSS layers so sound does not work anymore ... the 'right' thing would probably be to write a user-space pulse module or an alsa kernel module ... has anyone worked on these tasks yet ? It would be nice to use the latest kernels with their improved desktop responsiveness ... cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch t...@oetiker.ch ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900 _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list SunRay-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
