>> NOTES of a 1370 install under GENTOO LINUX <<
Here are detailed notes from installing a 1371 under gentoo, which
took me quite a while.
They may of some use. I'm not done much with DL, except use it as a
great stand-alone router.
I understand the drivers should be loaded automatically (& I think
intelligently) if compiled as modules,
but it seemed safer to compile them in directly
Assuming the kernel source is installed:
to recompile the kernel
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
SELECT:
Device Drivers -> Sound ->
<* > Sound card Support
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
in this I enabled most everything like the OSS options
PCI devices
<*> (Createive) Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370 [about
1/2 way down, right next to my 1370]
just to be safe, I turned on the 1371 as well
make && make modules_install
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5
x86_64 for the AMD64 , you may need another image
& update lilo or grub
The results of menuconfig are stored in ".config", so I keep copies
of it named with the same postfix as I name the matching kernel in /boot
Since I'm using gentoo w/ AMD64, I reference the compile instructions in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7
but there's all similar
You may need to Install alsa-oriented packages.I ran emerge (gentoo's
version of apt-get)
on everything that looks like it might be relevant. I've the 1371. I
can get sound from use mp3blaster
& mplayer, but not from ogg123. I don't understand why. I also needed
to use the
"t" option in mp3blaster to toggle thru the mixer options to make sure
everything was
turned up. Installing alsamixer & turning up the vol on everything
may be useful as well.
vmware under gentoo does not see any sound card.
I put in the 1371 card afterI having no success using the MB audio.
Good luck,
Chip
