When I installed FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE a year ago, the sound card (Creative Vibra - es1371) didn't work. Compiling the Kernel did no good. After almost a year later, I came to know this info from a very old GNU/Linux newusers HOWTO. I tried it without much hope and the sound card worked! I faced a similar situation with the printer too. Fortunately the person who gave me FreeBSD CDs told me to change the parallel port's value from 'auto' to 'enable' in BIOS settings (Phonix BUOS) and the printer worked immediately after installation. The 'FAQ' doesn't address these issues AFAIK and I also forgot to send these infos earlier ;-) Khoda Hafez Progga * The motherboard is 'Intel 440 BX2'.
