My desktop is an ASUS P2B-N integrated motherboard and has the ESS Solo-1 sound chip on it. Under 3.4 I'm using the OSS sound drivers from 4front, but they seem to be ignoring request and questions about supporting 4.0. This is the only thing keeping me from updgrading to 4.0. I'd really like to since then I can run my vmware on it as well, which currently I have to do using a remote Linux box just for that purpose ;-( There was mention that OpenBSD recognizes this chip. How different are the sound driver upper layers between OpenBSD and FreeBSD? Would it be a simple copy with some minor adjustments or would it be pretty much a rewrite based on the info gleaned from the driver? I'm sure porting the Linux driver for this chip would be a lot of work... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
