Someone has made a patch to support the new Neomagic 256AV sound chip for Linux.... Anyway to port it for our drivers ? <http://www.uglx.org/sony.html>; -=-=- Glubber blarrgh lueggor, me mateys The information below was all received in a dream. Thus it is not entirely reliable; use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any loss that may result from the use of this information--but you are! Many modern laptops use the NeoMagic 256AV or 256ZX audio/video chipsets, which contain a combined PCI-based soundcard and some version of their video core. The audio portion comes in at least a couple of different versions: a SB-16 hardware-compatible version, and a AC97-compatible version. The Sony Z505S and Z505SX, some of the Sony F-series, and some Dell Latitude laptops (CPi and CPt at least) have the AC97-compatible chipset. Here you will find the version 1.0 patch against kernel versions 2.2.5 through 2.2.12 that adds support for the 256AV and 256ZX. Be sure and read Documentation/sound/NM256 before trying it out. It is working well for me (and a lot of other people), and I can't honestly call it piss-poor anymore. -=-=- -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- Eurocontrol EEC/TEC -=- Ollivier.Robert@eurocontrol.fr Telecoms & Networking Tél : 7290 - CS.28 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
