asterisk users - May 2010 - [Dahdi/system.conf] "fxsks = 1" deprecated?

Hello

I was editing files manually, and noticed that if I include the
familiar "fxsks=1" in /etc/dahdi/system.conf, Dahdi fails loading:

====================# cat /etc/dahdi/system.conf
loadzone        = fr
defaultzone     = fr
fxsks=1
====================# /etc/init.d/dahdi start
Loading DAHDI hardware modules:
  wctdm:  [  OK  ]

/usr/share/dahdi/waitfor_xpds: Missing astribank_is_starting
No hardware timing source found in /proc/dahdi, loading dahdi_dummy
Running dahdi_cfg:  DAHDI_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: No such
device or address (6)
[FAILED]
====================
Uncommenting that line solves the issue:
====================# /etc/init.d/dahdi start
Loading DAHDI hardware modules:
  wctdm:  [  OK  ]

/usr/share/dahdi/waitfor_xpds: Missing astribank_is_starting
No hardware timing source found in /proc/dahdi, loading dahdi_dummy
Running dahdi_cfg:  [  OK  ]
====================
Does it mean it's no longer necessary to tell Dahdi which signaling to
use for an FXO port?

Thank you.

	Do you have a telephony card installed in that computer?  Basically the
error you get is because DAHDI cannot find any hardware that uses that
signalling.  When you comment it out it loads dahdi_dummy for timing.
The wctdm module is for cards like the TDM400P from Digium or A400P from
Openvox, if you do not have any of those cards in your computer then you
need to load the proper module to activate the fxo port.
