Hi,
I wonder if anyone has a pointer to any web instructions on how to
replace an Alsa driver that has gotten broken in a new kernel release.
My ATIIXP sound chip has worked fine for months but suddenly it's broken
in a number of 2.6.7 kernels as well as 2.6.8-rc2. It appears that a
broken driver was released without testing, if I understand the Alsa Bug
Tracker correctly. Now there are comments about replacing the driver in
the kernel with the driver from CVS. I don't know how to do this.
Sorry for bringing this issue here but I'm hoping to get a simple
answer before I go join yet another mailing list for a one time event.
In the kernel config, enable 'Sound card support' but disable ALSA, then
download the alsa-driver package from alsa-project.org and compile and
install it seperately.
cheers,
Christian
