Check Xfree site for mirrors - (www.xfree.org) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns@csd.net
FYI from Xfree mirror site XFree86 4.0.3 update release available [16 March 2001] XFree86 4.0.3 is a bugfix/update release. It is an update that is installed on top of the 4.0.2 release. The next full release will be 4.1.0, scheduled for mid-late May 2001. The XFree86 release numbering scheme and schedules have changed recently, and information about this can be found in our Versions document. The distribution including source patches, binary updates and documentation are available from our ftp site, and our mirror sites. The source is not necessary for installation and configuration. Pre-compiled binary distributions are available for most supported platforms. Before downloading the binaries read the following 3 files: README file for a general overview Release Notes for a detailed analysis of what this release contains Installation Notes for specific files to download There is some information comparing the hardware support in the 3.3.x versus the 4.x series in the driver status document; check there to see if your hardware is supported. Our documentation, including the man pages, is available online. Information about updates made to the binary distributions since the initial release can be found here, and errata (if any) can be found here. 4.0.2 can also be obtained directly from our public CVS server. The tag is xf-4_0_3. Post release fixes will be found on the xf-4_0_2-branch branch.
Is there anyone on this list with successful experience configuring sound on a Dell Latitude CPi laptop? I have attempted it using ALSA under SuSE 7.1, as well as both the 'kernel drivers' and OSS under SuSE 6.4. I'm getting the same results. I can play audio CDs, but I only get sound from the left channel. I can't play .wav files at all. Under ALSA, the player app crashed. under OSS, it simply hangs. I found a webpage from 1998 linked from the linux-laptops page, which gave me the following IO assignments: snd_port=0x530 snd_cport=0x210 snd_mpu-port=0x220 snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5 snd_mpu_irq=7 snd_dma1=1 snd_dma2=0 snd_jport=-1 These values were tested with ALSA 0.3. I found that with ALSA 0.5 as distributed with SuSE 7.1, I had to remove the snd_jport option entirely in order to get the module to load. I even broke down and booted Windows once. The sound works fine, and the device manager reports the following resources in use by the sound driver: "Crystal PnP Audio Codec" 0530-0537 0388-038B 0220-022F IRQ5 DMA01 DMA00 and by the "Crystal PnP Audio System Control Registers" 0210-0217 Since I was having problems with total system lockups under SuSE 7.1, I dropped back to the tried-and-true SuSE 6.4 The OSS package distributed with SuSE 6.4 has a selectable device for 'Dell Latitude onboard audio' so I picked it. But I get the same results: Left channel only from the CD, and no .wav play. Also, the I/O assignments which OSS chose are considerably different: (from /lib/oss/devices.cfg) CS4232MPU ON P330 I9 CS4232 ON P530 I7 D0 d3 OPL3 OFF Anybody got an idea what I should try next? -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"
