I've been installing FreeBSD on some work Sony F430s at the request of my boss (I get to try this stuff out and get paid for it ;) Windows reports the sound device as a Yamaha DS-XG and it's on irq 9 with the vga device and several other things. The bios has no configuration for audio. I'm currently messing with 3.4-PAO - the horror stories in -STABLE have cooled my desire to move to 4.0 right now and with a standard pcm0 line, I get; pcm0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa Unknown card 0x0 0x0 -- hope it is SBPRO The mixer appears to work to the extent I can change the values and they stay changed, audio (from cd, from play, etc) does not. Since I don't hear anything from the CD playing I'm assuming that it isn't actually working. If I try and play a .au I get; timeout flushing dbuf_out, chan 1 cnt 0xb37a flags 0x00000441 I'm guessing that this is pci audio and I'm SOL, certainly with 3.4 ? Am I any less SOL with 4.0 ? Everything else that freebsd has support for works fine - the DVD works as an ATAPI cdrom drive, 1024x768 at 24bit works under xfree; (--) SVGA: PCI: NeoMagic NM2200 rev 32, Memory @ 0xfd000000, 0xfe800000 (--) SVGA: chipset: NM2200 (--) SVGA: videoram: 2560k (**) SVGA: Using 24 bpp, Depth 24, Color weight: 888 [...] (--) SVGA: NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV (NM2200) chip (--) SVGA: NM2200: Panel is a 1024x768 color TFT display (--) SVGA: NM2200: Internal LCD only display mode The only thing that puzzles me is that if I use 16 bit it uses more acceleration; (**) SVGA: Using 16 bpp, Depth 16, Color weight: 565 [...] (--) SVGA: NM2200: Using hardware cursor (--) SVGA: Using XAA (XFree86 Acceleration Architecture) (--) SVGA: XAA: Solid filled rectangles (--) SVGA: XAA: Screen-to-screen copy [etc] Does XAA need some spare memory or is something odd going on ? pcmcia is ok - the machine has two free IRQs according to windows, 3 and 5 (it has a winmodem, no second serial port).
