Re: SV: Sound in Potato



 Hello again!

Are you in the audio group?  Else just add rw to the devices (chmod 766

your kernel was compiled to support audio?  This should appear at booting
time...

  Ahh, yes, it is a bit of a nightmare... I had to suffer with this also
and interestingly, the device dsp doesn't work as it should...


After all, I managed to make it work. Here's what I did:

1. Added the following lines to /etc/modutils/aliases

alias char-major-14 cs4231
pre-install cs4231 modprobe audio

(now the sound modules are loaded when they're needed)


2. Chmoded the devices to 766:

chmod 766 /dev/audio /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/sndstat

3. Rebooted (just to be sure).

Now it works! Beautiful! :-)

Thanks for all the help.

Now does anyone know how to make Solaris executables run on this thing? It's supposed to work by insmoding solaris.o and putting some libs on /usr/gnuemuls/solaris, but I just get stupid error messages (see my other earlier e-mail about that)...

Best regards,

AI
