Yes. What I did was compile the kernel, alsa, and pcmcia packages using
make-kpkg and the source packages. I have found with the 390E that this
is flawless. You compile the packages, install them, and then use
alsaconf to configure it for the sound card. On the 390E, this has worked
everytime. On the 390X, Alsa found the sound card, configured itself, but
things didn't work as well, obviously. So, I suppose it is possible that
/etc/modutils/alsa might be incorrect, don't know for sure. Below is
what I have in that file. If anyone thinks this is wrong for the
390X, I am open to all suggestions.
Thanks,
Bryan
