Well, guess what, I got brave and I cvsup'd to 2.2.7. I must say that that was quite an experience. I first messed up by downloading current (3.0) and didn't realize that I had to build make before I could use make (doh!!!). But before I realized that I decided to cvsup stable (2.2.7) and what I found out that the first cvsup left some rogue stuff that made it impossible for me to make world. The one smart thing that I did was to make a backup of my source tree before I started my little adventure. I ended up having to remove the source tree, restore the source tree from my backup and then cvsup the stable sources......whew, I am glad that is over. Now, back to the sound card problem. Thank's for your tips, now I can pursue them realistically. Just had to vent a little and maybe put a little bug into people's mind, so that they may avoid the hassle I did.
