I'm trying to make another stab at getting sound going on my Dell Latitude laptop. I've been unsuccessful with the ALSA drivers shipped with SuSE, so I thought I'd try the OSS drivers. They claim 'Dell Latitude' support, so it's worth a try... ...snip... I'm still not there. oss-install is complaining about two things: version.txt does not exist, and modversions.h does not exist. Has someone been successful doing an install of the OSS drivers on SuSE 7.2pro, and can help me out?
I've run OSS on 7.2pro before, but it was after I managed to break ALSA in a Mantel kernel upgrade (I've had OSS for years, but only use it when I have to). Basically, I'd try the following (as it's basically what I did): - - Go to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/rpm and grab a new kernel and the associated sources. Do an rpm -Uvh for both (yes, you can always back out to the originals if you run into trouble) - - Grab the latest OSS from http://www.4front-tech.com If any of that doesn't work, try their support. I used it once about 3 years ago and got an informative human reply within 15 minutes (beating my previous Matrox record of 30 minutes).
<quiet complaint> I miss the file listing in the package descriptions in yast! What would be really nice would be a searchable index of every file in every RPM, so that I could easily find which RPM I need to install! </complaint>
That would be *really* cool. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8MxQl+FOexA3koIgRArBGAJ4hrHXhPAXBvqu/3Lzlso6jcss7lgCfRSLh 7Mm2Eoxm8JRGFLt7e0/SIhE= =iMkb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
