All done, like I said. (What's cool is that discover blacklists the
"trident" OSS module automatically, didn't have to touch anything.)
Works fine on the desktop, but on the laptop, it works on 2.6.3 without
udev, fails on 2.6.5+ with or without udev, fails always with udev.
Like I said in my previous posts.
The only thing I haven't done is wiped the hard drive and reinstalled
with d-i. Is that really needed to get working sound with udev?
Other ideas?
Thanks,
