Hello everyone, Firstly let me apologise if this isnt the right list for this email, but i took sometime to do a little research and think it is, so please bear with me here ;) I am a recent convert from that other *nix brand, the one that seems to deal with penguins. I have been using that on and off for 5 years along with Solaris and (god help my soul) HP-UX. i would like to think that I am somewhat capable in *nix and compiling kernels and what have you. I recently installed FreeBSD4 (the stable release iso image). It went fine, not a problem with anything. Pcmcia was even detected and managed to setup ed1 and routing to my gateway and everything was peachy. The only problem is, when I go into X, there is no sound. de nada. nothing. not a beep. Now, I looked at the dmesg output, and sure enough it DOES find the maestro-2e on the laptop, but it doesnt auto-configure any /dev/sound or /dev/pcm. So the question is, is this actively supported (eg, can it work rather than jst be detected) and what 'version' would I need to install to get it working, -Stable or -Release or even -Current ? I really dont want to go Opensound, although I could, as Opensound drivers only work with 3.4 and -Stable (v4) seems to have better Pcmcia. Thanks for the time and sorry if this is one of those annoying FAQS. If i am doing something totally and horrible stupid, feel free to smack me on the head (but please be careful, i am trying to grow horns there ;) deepest regards, Stefs To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
