hi all i am using nec vxi notebook install freebsd 4.9rc kde, i just cannot config the sound i read and i found it need to complie the driver in the kernel , i check the LINT file but it is not there, i use a linux startup cd and found out that the driver is intel i82440mx ac97 audio driver = i-810_Audio 1) where i can found this driver and how to install? 2) i can only sucess complie the custom kernel from the generic if i copy to other name,i always found fail, any idea? i mean if i edit the generic i can complie the custome kernel, if i copy other name i always fail? thks! john

Building a Kernel the ``New'' Way If still fails, post error message here.

Just add the line snd_pcm_load="YES" to the file /boot/loader.conf. To see all the sound modules you have already built, set into the directory /modules and do the command "ls -l snd_*". Check the man page "loader.conf" for details. Richard Coleman rcoleman@mindspring.com

If that works, add the line 'snd_pcm_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf to load the module at each boot. If any of the above fails, your hardware may be unsupported,> 2) i can only sucess complie the custom kernel from the generic if i copy to > other name,i always found fail, any idea? > i mean if i edit the generic i can complie the custome kernel, if i copy other > name i always fail?I haven't had to rebuild the kernel to get sound support in... well, longer than I can rmeember. Dynamic loading should be ok nowadays. $.01, /Mikko
