Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello there! May somebody tell me how the freebsd's kernel make detection of sound cards ? Almost a year ago I sent a question about initialization of OPTI sound card because it only works fine when it is initialized starting MS-DOS drivers and then rebooting the machine. Now, I modified some of the kernel source files for making the same initialization that MS-DOS makes, and the correction worked. I would like to know how can I make these modifications be put in standard places. Could anybody tell me how the "config" program gathers all the source files together for preparing the kernel compilation ? and how they are linked ? Is this information documented anywhere ? Thank you in advance. ______ _ * / / \ / \ __ /\ /\ * / ./ \ * \__|_/ | | / \/ \ | b | * _ | __ | | __ = .. \____ \ \_\ / / \| / \ | | /\_\/ = \_| * \___\___/ * \_/\_/\__/\__\/_/\__/ = \______/ _ | |
