Thats why i download "VIA RH9 Audio Driver V0.82A.gz "

I unpack this one with gunzip but after that i am hanging here for next process... what to do? is there any process for it... if so... plz mail the entire options for it...

Thanx in advance,

Is anybody there to help me...

Hi zameer,
After unzipping with gunzip u may have get tar archive ,right?

if so execute the following commands

1. tar -xvf somefilename.tar
navigate into that folder
2. ./configure
3. make
4. make install

after installing restart the system.

This is the process to install the packages in fedora , But i dont know ur specific server edition.

Hi, Krishna....

After Unzipp i got a file with similar name (file name which is used to unzipp .gz) but not with .gz extension... and i check the properties of this file then i found that ti is of file unknown type.... what to do....

thnx with regds,
zameer ahmed syed.

can u give me the full file name with extension?

sure ....it is "VIA RH9 Audio Driver V0.82A.gz" before gunzipp

and after gunzipp it is VIA RH9 Audio Driver V0.82A (it becomes in black color) . I think it becomes as file after gunzipp.

thanx with regds,

i think it could be a folder. U just rename the file without any extension.
and navigate into folder(if it is),
try with
./configure
make
make install

I chaged it to another name sounddrivers but no change so far.....

what to do... may be the file which i downloaded is not supported with this LAS 3.0

Is anybody there to help me....... HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ... PLZ......

try typing as root
soundconfig

might be sdnconfig (i don't remember).

If it doesn't work compile a kernel with ICH or alsa support

hi cheeks,
Y ah I am on the way... Just I downlaod ALSA Driver named "alsa-driver-1.0.7rc2.tar.bz2" ... when i am trying to compile this with gzip2 then i got the message like gzip2 command not found... I would really appreciate if U help me how to compile this file(XXXXXXXXX.tar.bz2)

MY OS was Redhat Linux Enterprise Linux Advance Server 3.0
