It has been reported that my current Thinkpad (a 755c, x486) can use the internal (crystal?) sound under linux *if* the machine is first booted into dos, the soundblaster compatibility program run, and linux launched from loadlin rather than lilo. Once it sleeps, sound will be lost. Since i replaced msdos with drdos, and the funky sound utilities won't run under drdos, I've never confirmed this. Perhaps a configuration utility that would run prior to starting the kernel might get it working? hawk, who has a vested interest, as a thinkpad to run freebsd is coming his way "real soon now."
