Two problems, I'll list them (not hoping to solve them both though):

1. ALSA doesn't work. Sound playback is awful. It sounds like a scratched disk. When I run alsaconf it detects "atiixp unknown device". When I look at my motherboards user manual, I find it to be the southbridge chipset, and my audio codec is "RealTek ALC655".

2. CUPS neither, I have an HP LaserJet 1000 printer (USB), followed all the steps al hp.com, downloaded all drivers, followed advice at linuxprinting.org, doesn't work.

Thanks for reading.

a) What does
lspci
think the device is?

b) A bit more input on the printer problem, please. Does the box
have USB support (check lsmod) enabled at all? Does the
printer show in dmesg after having been plugged in?

I f you have the stock 10.1, then try upgrading your kernel to the latest in current ie 2.4.31 and update alsa.

Afaik, Laserjet should be supported by cups without any additional drivers.

What steps did you take for the installation? Did you go through the cups setup? http://localhost:631

oops, wrong post.

my bad.

Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4361 (rev 03)

About USB, it seems to be supperted...

"usbcore 58860 1 [printer usb-ohci ehci-hcd]"

Still, usb-ochi is missing :S

And, I did went through CUPS browser-based setup..

Update on the ALSA issue:

Seems flash animations and probably steamig video work pretty well...

Updated to Slackware-Current and now XServers screwed up....

I get "fdevScreenInit: Can't connect to X server (Invelid argument)", or some error like that....

How did you the update ? You upgraded all packages ?

What video card you have?

Check your kernel configuration. I'd be willing to bet that you have uhci enabled, If you're at my level of (in)expertise, this means you'll have to recompile your kernel, although I BELIEVE that I read somewhere on LQ that it's possible to get away with just enabling module support for ohci, then remaking and installing the modules. Of course, it's also possible that I may be talking out of my butt here; it's happened before. I am unable to find corroborating evidence one way or the other at the moment, but I am fairly certain that's what I read.

On usb...I guess I'll have to try to find the topic yo say and see if it works, thank you.

An the video card, I have ATI Radeon 9200SE...

On the update...well, I used:

$ slackpkg install *.*

I guess that was not a very good idea...

Try poking around ATI's website to see if you can find information about your multimedia audio controller.

Crappy ATI site, gets nothing...

Sends me to the provider...I guess i'll call'em, thanks...

I have issues with their website too.

Good Luck!
