Someone just mailed me this heads up about my AWE soundcard setup tutorial at http://members.home.net/conrads/awepnp-freebsd.html. As this is the first I've heard about this, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could fill me in on the details, so I can update the info on my web site. Thanks! BTW, I'm subscribed to -current now, so you can reply to the list. -----FW: <199910241850.OAA00480@d142-l036.rh.rit.edu>----- Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 14:50:46 -0400 (EDT) From: Matt Dibb <dibber@d142-l036.rh.rit.edu> To: conrads@home.com Subject: http://members.home.net/conrads/awepnp-freebsd.html Your SB AWE-card how-to is quite helpful, but slightly flawed. You indicate that the procedures listed apply to FreeBSD 3.x and -CURRENT, but this is not so. While the kernel config lines compile fine under 3.x and 4.0, the userconfig script employs the "pnp" keyword to explicitly define which slots/irqs/dmas to probe, but, much to my dismay, this command was eliminated when the userconfig program was reworked for FreeBSD-Current this summer. I am writing to you to inquire as to whether another method (even if less conventional) exists for instructing the kernel to probe all these slots. The kernel syntax doesn't accomodate multiple ports for devices [that I know of], so I've had no luck getting AWE64 support with VoxWare drvs. If you could advise me on a way to get the slots probed right without the "pnp" keyword in userconfig, I'd be most grateful. --------------End of forwarded message------------------------- -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
