Hay, finally got back into linux for good and I got most of it working great. however I still have 2 problems. Ok I am running slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.6.15.4 on a dell 700m. Alot of the tutorials of how to install on a 700m and they say that the module 'snd-intel8x0m' that is loaded by the hotplug messes up the sound, so i have that on the blacklist but when i run alsaconf it still doesn't find a sound card. does anyone have any info on this cause i have loaded slack before and blocked with with positive results. Also i am having problem with video. Whenever i run a game i always get terrible fps like 5 or less. But i ran suse for a while and i got good fps on the same version of the games. But i dont know how to fix this. so thanks for any help

I'm short on time, but hopefully this helps. Recompile your kernel. Make sure OSS is not used and include ALSA as modules.

awsome thanks to shilo for the sound help, did that worked like a champ. Dri took a while but after a bit of playing with xorg in combination with dri options hidden in the kernal options working great now. thanks for the help
