Ok folks. I know this has been asked a thousand times but I only ask for a= =20 URL to a comprehensive explanation on how to get my sound to work on my=20 machine. More specifically, the kernel config is where I need the most= help. I have tried many a time to get my kernel configured correctly for sound=20 and have never been able to get right. My kernel always fails the=20 build. I've read docs in the past but I just don't think I've read the=20 right ones. Thanks again! - Jim At 01:34 PM 08.16.2001 -0500, Stephen Hilton wrote: >Mark Hughes asked: > > >>Would you mind dropping me (or the list, or both) an email saying how= you > >>get on with the DVD playback and the Rage chipset?
