'6.4 is on here at home....put a new ATA disk in the box. In general, all went well..GOOD job SuSE!! However, there are some areas that need work. I have a Digital Research PCI 64-bit sound card (Yamaha chipset) that SuSE sees, but does NOT install a driver for. Anyone know if there's anything with the distro. that does support it? Thanks!

I'm not sure how yast2 works here, it's possible you have to enter the dialog for osund configuration, and yast2 only displaying that it detected a sound card does not mean that it will be configured for use. I'm not sure, as I said, but you might give it a try, i.e. call yast2 now and launch the sound config module, and go through all steps for the configuration. If that doesn't work, maybe calling alsaconf manually helps, if the chip is supported by ALSA.

I just installed SuSE 6.4 on my Gateway laptop with ESS Maestro sound. YaST, et al, recognized the Maestro sound, but didn't do anything. I had to add '/sbin/modprobe maestro' to /etc/rc.d/boot.local. Perhaps something like that would help you too.

Yamaha chipsets are not supported by either the kernel drivers or ALSA
(which Yast2 supports exclusively). This is because Yamaha refuses to
release specs for their chips without NDA, thus making it impossible to
write OpenSource drivers.
Your only chance is the commercial version of OSS/Linux, of which you'll
find a demo version in our distribution (opsod_up/opsod_smp in series pay).
These demo versions are limited to 20 minutes runtime and you'd have to buy a
license from 4Front Technologies in order to permanently use them. See
http://www.opensound.com for further details.

Yamaha doesn't release specs for PCI hardware. You have two options; buy a $30 OSS license, or buy a $30 Creative soundcard that works ;). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
