I did a completely new installation of Fedora Core 1 on my Toshiba Tecra 8000. I copied my working sound portion of my modules.conf from my Red Hat 8.0 installation. The sound portion of the new modules.conf looks like so: # sound stuff. Copied from old config. options sound dmabuf=1 alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2 # pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options opl3sa2 mss_io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpu_io=0x330 # io=0x538 All those modules appear to insert themselves correctly at boot time. Permissions and ownership appear to be set up correctly: [root@teckla root]# ll /dev/mixer crw------- 1 ccurley root 14, 0 Sep 15 07:40 /dev/mixer where "ccurley" is the user tring to run the mixer. I get error messages regarding inability to open /dev/mixer, and that the Gnome Volume Control was compiled with OSS 3.8.2, and my system is running 143.115.134. Since not even Emacs is up to that high a version number, I expect that's a bogus value. The error message I see in /var/log/messages is: "Can't locate module sound-service-0-0". redhat-config-soundcard announces that it can't find any soundcards. Also, on boot I see a lot of "Can't locate module char-major*" messages that scroll by quickly and which do not get captured by /var/log/lessages or dmesg. Based on a quick check of linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/Documentation/devices.txt, I don't think any of them are the missing mixer. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
