Sound in a Mac mini


I've installed Fedora 5 on a Mac mini, sound card is recognized, but not automatically configured and cannot get sound working.
As someone tried that ?
Thanks.

Possibly need a newer kernel or to patch? I couldn't get it working with Debian without a kernel upgrade (which I didn't do) and now got Ubuntu and sound seems to be working fine

Sorry - can't post a link until I've made 3 posts, but quote below from a website

"Note that to make sound work on kernels older than 2.6.12-rc4 you need the patch below.

patch to make sound work
Update! Benjamin Herrenschmidt has made a driver for mac mini sound. It's included in kernel 2.6.12-rc4 and later. You need alsa-lib version 1.0.9rc3 or later too. You should use that driver, if possible, instead of my patch. The performance is much better.
The patch is for linux 2.6.8 to 2.6.11 : linux26-macmini-sound.patch"
