Because my view about is that we have to push distro manager to perfect those linux distro's and make it more easy to use. If I am gonna keep the resolution to me ... this doesn't aimporve anything ... right ??? On Monday 15 April 2002 00:36, John W Higgins wrote:
Why do you care that YAST or whatever doesn't pick it up - you already have the solution done - and trust me I commend you on that because if the majority of the people on this list took the time you did to even attempt to fix a problem themselves the volume on the list would reduce by 90%.
Part of the beauty of Linux is that everything isn't automated. Don't panic about this or that not loading if you can load it yourself. If you want to have your hand held every second by the OS then just run Windows - it does a fine job of that. If you want to run Linux be happy that you can fiddle with things that don't work exactly correct and thus make them work instead of bitching and whining because the list didn't run to answer your question

Hello !
I am sending this again because it seems to be that anybody WANTS to help me with this issue.
I have just downloaded and installed the 2.4.18 kernel form mantel's download area. It is working fine but I got some problems with my multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10). In fact it was detected by yast2 but it sad something about cold not load (modprobe) the module ... The problem is that if I am going to manualy modprobe cmpci module ... everithing is fine. So I remmoved everything regarding yast2 and sound in /etc/modules.conf and put a line as: alias char-major-14 cmpci, depmod -a and reboot ... After reboot lsmod doesn't say nothing about cmpci module. What did I do wrong ??? If I manualy load cmpci module before entering kde2 ... everything is fine and I can hear the beautifull sound of arts server. Now ... I found e resolution to this pb. by making a startup script located in init.d ... just simply modrobe cmpci module. The real pb. is that I want alsa to do that for me. This pb. is important to me simply for the fact that I want to by SuSE Pro 8.0 and I want to be sure that I am not gonna have problems !!!
Thanks.
