Re: Drivers for ASUS K7M onboard audio



ok... here it is...
( i did it 2 times cos i messed up the system at first )
i compiled a new kernel ( you need the agpgart module )...

i installed alle the xstuff from debian ( xserver-common (3.3.6) with 
xserver-svga ... )...
then i got me the binaries for xfree 4.0.2 from www.xfree86.org...
they have a few there for different glibc-versions...
i took the ones for glibc2.2 ( i have tried with glibc2.1 but it didn't work 
)...
of course you have to update to glibc2.2 then ( i think it's in testing )...
then just follow the installation instructions...
( go in the xfree dir ( with the stuff u downloaded ) run "sh Xinstall.sh" 
and then do the pickin chicken :-) <- this one is important, at first i 
overwrote some files (changed from n to y) and i had to remove all xstuff 
again )...
when that is finished run "xf86config" and you should find a driver for i810 
in the card-database...
startx and :-)

hope this works for you....

but please don't blame me for anything goin wrong... im pretty new to linux 
and debian... i feel like playin with my LEGO !!

when you still got problems just mail me...

cu peter

p.s. also i would be interested in what the real debian cracks think of that 
installation procedure ( is it bad style ?? )
