replacing the driver in the kernel with the driver from
CVS. I don't
know how to do this.
----------
Here's how I do it when the occasional driver drama demands.
Follow the instructions to pull alsa-kernel from cvs,
like this (I think) .
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsa login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsa \
co -P alsa-kernel
When you succeed with that, you'll have a tree under a directory
called alsa-kernel. From directly above alsa-kernel, I then run
the following, which does some basic filtering of what
(and what not) to transfer to the kernel source tree. After all that,
I build the kernel as usual.
