Hello,

I have sussesfully installed FreeBsd2.1.5 on my machine(P75 24megs) and also succesfully running
Xfree86. Now i have just few inquiries/questions regarding building a new kernel to provide sound
support. I have a soundblaster16 soundcard i have installed under win95 and would like to use it
under Freebsd to play audioCD. 

Here is what i have added to the GENERIC kernel for the sound support.

#Controls all sound devices

controller	snd0
device sb0	at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0   at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0  at isa  port 0x330
device opl0	at isa? port 0x388

options "SBC_IRQ=5"

BTW Here is the card setup under win95

SETBLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

I have added those config lines at the end of GENERIC kernel. Does it matter where i put those
lines? Somewhere in the midle... end... ? And do i need to put any additional lines for the card?

I havent compiled the kernel yet and would like some advice/suggestions about the above
configuration for the sound card. 

Also since i am already running X , Would uncommenting the line " options  XSERVER" (Generic
KERNEL HAVE IT COMMENTED) improve X performance somehow?

I would greatly appreciate any help/suggestions/comments/pointers on these matters.


Thank you for your help in advance.

Sincerely

Sohel
