Ok, it seems that although the Deb2.2 installation routine (on a clean
disk) did not compile any OSS sound module. Looking in
/lib/modules/2.2.17/ did not help, no file with a "OSS" in it.
What is "soundlow" and "soundcore" used for?
Debian provides the tool "xviddetect" (is this a 2.2.17 related
function or one written by the debian developers?) which gave out:
MINI:~# xviddetect
Sorry, I wasn't able to determine a driver for your video card. This
script
only detects PCI and some SBUS devices. If you know, or figure out,
which X
driver to use, please submit a *wishlist* bug against this package
with the
appropriate info. Please see http://bugs.debian.org/ for information
about
submitting bugs.
I will now display a list of PCI devices I found on your computer.
Please
send the line associated with your video device if you do find a
driver.

So I guess I have to recompile a module for Aureal/Vortex?
Just having a look at the new system pertubed me - there is no
/usr/src/linux directory!
Just a /usr/src/redhat dir with several subdirs, but I guess the
package enabling to use rehat rpms made that one.
Anyone with the same experience and how can I compile a new kernel
without the src's?
Hoping for help
Robert
