Keep at it!!
and iafter i managed to get X started, even if the screen looks wrong, i tried using opera and aparently amigo didn't pick up my broadband (cable modem) connection.
I have run Damn Small Linux on my computer and it has no problem with my internet conneection, so i thought amigo should pick it u, but it didn't
when i ran alsaconf it said that no PCI card was detected, and when it probed for ISA cards it says there aren't any legacy drivers present...
also, i have kind of an old computer (i bought it on 1999) with an integrated sound card, and i have no idea wich model it is... i even have ūroblem finding drivers for windows...
I've also got CMI8330 and what I did (under 2.4.26 kernel) was:
- installed alsa-libs-1.0.6a-i486-1.tgz from slackware-current,
- installed alsa-oss-1.0.6a-i486-1.tgz from slackware-current,
- installed alsa-utils-1.0.6a-i486-1.tgz from slackware-current,
- installed alsa-driver-1.0.5a-i486-1.tgz from slackware-10,
- followed the CMI8330 /etc/modules.conf tutorial (the 'Setting up modprobe and kmod support' paragraph),
- created a ~/.asoundrc which looks like this:
<EDIT>I've modified this a bit since after a reboot it turned out the 1.0.6a driver is even more f**ked up... So I advise you to use the drivers from your own Slackware version. That's it, I think. </EDIT>
And now I've got full ALSA support with software mixing and OSS emulation.
There's only one drawback - the software mixing doesn't work if one program is playing through ALSA and some another tries to play through OSS (it also works like this the other way around) - you'll just get a 'device busy' warning. Apart from that, it works like a dream.
One more thing, I don't know what it's like on the 'old' 2.4.22 (I think it was 2.4.22... or maybe 2.4.25?) kernel on which Amigo 2 is based, you may encounter some problems with the driver package. If you do, try installing alsa-driver from slackware-9.1 instead of slackware-10.0.
That's it - hope this helps!
