OSS should be supported- i have an SB64 on an i586 and these are my steps. Hope this helps. 1) install oss through yast or rpm. 2) build a kernel without sound card support. 3) open xterm or root while in root...type: cd /tmp/osslinux-3.7.1z 4) press enter and type: ./osslinux.runme 5) press enter and type: soundon Marcel Donker wrote:
Hi All,
After slowly but progressively trying to install SuSE 6.0 Linux onto my Pentium II 400MHz, I finally got the thing up and running. There's even (a little bit) room for a Win98/Linux dual boot on my harddisk with LILO.
And now......., trying to comfigure my kernel and system to what I want to have. The first thing I was trying to tackle is trying to setup my Soundblaster PCI64 card. But this card is probably too new to be standardly supported under SuSE 6.0. But, no panic, there is always the 4front OSS stuff.
Well, the free OSS stuff doesn't support the card. But the OSSdemo does. But, and now it comes, I am not getting the damn thing to install onto my box. According to the license agreement at the beginning of the install-procedure it should be a 30-day trial version but when installing the driver with 'soundon' it says that there is no license agreement to be found!
So, is there anyone out there with a SB PCI64 up and running and how did you do it?
Thanks in advance,
Marcel
BTW.: anyone out there who has tried to install StarOffice 5.0 but got the wrong media key code? The key I've got in the box was the code for the German version. I tried to install the english version (the only one available on the CDROM's) but it won't swallow the key code. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Marcel Donker ASM Lithography Software Development ATLAS Run 6665 <A HREF="mailto:marcel.donker@asml.nl">mailto:marcel.donker@asml.nl</A> 5504 DT Veldhoven Phone: +31-(0)40-2305321 The Netherlands ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Portability is for people who cannot write new programs" - Linus Torvalds -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
