I finally upgraded to the latest FC2 kernel, 2.6.7-1.494.2.2, and have noticed a couple of messages that are new: Aug 10 19:05:12 rltp40f2 kernel: application vmware-vmx uses obsolete OSS audio interface Aug 11 12:38:30 rltp40f2 kernel: application mozilla-bin uses obsolete OSS audio interface Did I lose something in this upgrade? FWIW, the VMWare is 4.5.2 build 8848 and the mozilla is the latest one from FC2 updates 1.7.2-0.2.0. My modprobe.conf is as follows: > alias net-pf-10 off > alias eth0 e1000 > alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 > install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : > remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 > alias usb-controller ehci-hcd > alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd > alias ath0 ath_pci Checked bugzilla but my eyes couldn't find anything.... The VMWare list is saying that RedHat is looking to force everyone to use ALSA implying that things are likely to get worse before they get better.... Any thoughts or suggestions? --Rob
