Three things: 1/ did you try the backported audio stuff I posted yesterday - there were some issues that were resolved between 2.2.xx and 2.3/4.xx these should be present in the backport. It does work OK against 2.2.17pre10-ben1.Oh whoops can you send that to me or tell me where I can get it? I thought it was part of bens kernel.Well, I wish it might be one day - but it's quite new (yesterday) and it will take a bit more testing before it's accepted. here's the URL: http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/dmasound_backport.patch.bz2 (but there's no reference to it anywhere higher up so use something like anarchie/interarchy get via http - or whatever).
Okay I tried that one by applying the patch to the current stable kernel (2.2.17 I believe). Once gnome started up I got an error message "No mixers found". When I tried to play an mp3 through xmms X locked up completely although I was able to change VT's, however I was unable to kill X or reboot properly. Oh well at least fsck is getting a work-out this week :). I'm going back to 2.2.14 for a bit to see if I get the same problem with a slightly older kernel. -- Gwyn Judd (b.judd@xtra.co.nz) I hate quotations. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
