Because we don't talk about things until the feature list has been decided on. It's that simple.
Relax. I'm not asking for a new feature. I want to know how the ALSA patch was created for the existing kernel. I don't even need all the details, just roughly how it was done.
And I want a clean build of the k_athon package with the new ALSA.
Then you are on your own to enable this. We can't and won't support compiling the kernel with anything else then we supply, meaning in this case the older ALSA version. BTW, compiling your own kernel has been unsupported from day one, at least without paying for support.
I have built my own kernels since 0.99pl15. But, being new to SuSE, I'd like to build a clean kernel, same as k_athlon-2.4.20-86, only with a newer ALSA. BTW. The reason I do this is that my in-laws have a new computer with an ASUS A7V8X-X with onboard sound. To bad the sound doesn't work with the SuSE8.2 kernel. This mobo has a VIA8235 which may (or may not) be supported with the newer ALSA. -- Kees (registered Linux user #2395)
