Actually, I think my 600E (2645-5AU) is pretty much the same and the pcm driver seems to work OK, but takes a few tweaks. Thanks to Jonathan Chen, I've had sound (gnome, realplay, etc.) working since early in 4.1 days. 1. Remove "options PNPBIOS" from the kernel. 2. Add pcm to the kernel with all of the details: device pcm0 at isa? port 0x52c irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x10 3. Before building the kernel, edit /sys/conf/files with this command: #!/bin/sh perl -pi.orig -e "s@(dev/sound/pci/csa.c\s+optional pcm)@#\1@g;s@(csapcm.c\s+optional) pcm@\1 csa pcm@g" /sys/conf/files 4. Build, install, and reboot the new kernel. (Note, every time you update sources you will probably have to re-run the edit on files as it is updated with GREAT frequency.) The only problem I have is that the audio device does not recover from a suspend operation very well. The failures are not quite universal, but close and vary a bit, but the only fix I've found is to reboot. I really like the 600E as a FreeBSD platform because everything (including the modem) works, although some things don't work out of the box. It's also important that you become familiar withe IBM ps2 utility. If you don't have Windows or DOS on the laptop, you can download a bootable floppy with ps2 from IBM. ps2 is how these machines do most BIOS settings. Very little is available from the setup menu. If you are referring to getting sound to work with loadable modules, I have been unsuccessful to this point, but I'm willing to build it into the kernel if that's what it takes. R.
