Hello, I have a compaq armada 7800 and it doesn't seem to be the greatest
laptop in the world :) According to compaq's website and the drivers they
inform you to download, it has an ESS1879 but under freebsd neither
pciconf -l nor pnpinfo turn up any chips made by ESS.  The card is listed
in the pcm/sbc driver but nothing detects when I compile them in my
kernel.  Is there a magic chicken or goat I can download to make it
work?  I'm just trying to make it work for the fun of it since it isnt my
laptop and probably wont keep freebsd on it unless I find a way to make it
more useful than windows, but it would be nice if the sound could be made
to work just for the sake of improving the method (or docs for
how) freebsd would do it. Thanks.
