I have a user at my site that is running an Armada 7800 laptop and would like to run Linux on it. We've been able to track down the specs from Compaq's site, but as yet, we've had nothing but grief trying to configure sound (the machine uses a supported chipset for sound, an ES1371 I think, but I know two soundcards with the same chip can handle things as differently as night and day). I've been looking out and about for information about this, but still no luck - has anyone on this list tried this machine and gotten everything to work like they wanted? advTHANKSance, -cr- compaq armada 7800 woes...

To see the exacy spec it is shipped with boot the laptop from the diagnose partition with F10 during boot. If you erased that one and you are running the kernal that came with your distro try the OSS drivers, otherwise try alsa and runs alsaconf. Then edit /etc/conf.modules At the bottom are the lines inserted by alsaconf. Remove the parameters for io and such and reboot (really reboot) then in an terminal run alsa-mixer and adjust and then sound should work. Here is the part of my /etc/modules.conf The tabulated lines shoud be at the end of the previous line.. #--- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.3b --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-es18xx alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=3D116 snd_cards_limit=3D1 snd_device_mode=3D0666 snd_device_gid=3D0 snd_device_uid=3D0 options snd-card-es18xx snd_index=3D0 snd_id=3DESS #options snd-card-es18xx snd_index=3D0 snd_id=3DESS snd_port=3D0x220 snd_mpu_port=3D0x330 snd_fm_port=3D0x388 snd_irq=3D5 snd_dma1=3D0 = =09 snd_dma1_size=3D64 snd_dma2=3D1 snd_dma2_size=3D64 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- --=20 Continuity of service =3D Continuity of business! --=20 To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com = =20 Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq =20 --===============8370457895087406608==-- From arjen@technologist.com Mon Sep 11 13:54:43 2000 From: arjen@technologist.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SLE] compaq armada 7800 woes...
