Hmm. I was able to get X working with the XF86Config file
that I'll append. So far, tho, no sound. /dev/MAKEDEV in
my Free BSD 4.3 will not create /dev/snd0 for reasons I
don't understand...
Derrick Norris tells me that his Intel i815 mainboard works
kjust fine, both X11 and sound. He said that he did have to
cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV snd0; and put the pcm controller line
into the KERNEL config.
I just bought this box in August, 2001; could we each have
different hardware revs??
We seem to be having different issues with this Intel board;
if we work together, perhaps we'll be able to figure things
out.
((I've just CVSup'd 4.4-STABLE and am rebuilding at this moment.))
I already do have the newer version of X, 4.1.X. Are we all at
the same levels software-wise?
And my question for anyone on the list: Why can't I create a
/dev/snd0?
