I have an HP Pavilion zv6565us with an ICH8-based sound card (if that's what you mean). My sound uses the Realtek 268 codec which the current Alsa doesn't support. You can make it work, but you need to build the Alsa drivers and libraries from the CVS code or wait for the new version of Alsa to come out. The wireless is an Intel 4965-based card which works using the iwl4965 driver once you get the right firmware installed. anaconda didn't recognize my CD/DVD drive during installation, but I used an ISO image on a USB disk and that went smoothly. Once I updated to the latest kernel, the CD/DVD works normally. The webcam built into the machine requires the uvcvideo driver to work. Hope that helps. If you have that beastie or something similar and need help, contact me off-list and I'll see if I can help you out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Grabel's Law: 2 is not equal to 3--not even for large values of 2. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
