Hi list,
I got a lot of support from this list. Thanks a lot guys.
Please keep up the good work. Places like these motivate others
towards this exciting world of linux.
At present I am having a couple of problems. Firstly I am
not able to increase my resolution to 1024 x 768 in 24 bits. The X
server says not a usable configuration. I am using a bf2.4 install
on intel 845G board. My Xfree build is
ginie:/# XFree86 -version

Module Loader present

The second problem I am facing is that of configuring sound.
I saw the previous posts on the list, did the following --
Inserted the ac97 modules -
ginie:/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/sound# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
ac97_codec 9568 0 (unused)

input 3040 0 [keybdev usbkbd]
usb-uhci 20676 0 (unused)
usbcore 48000 0 [usbkbd usb-uhci]
On trying to insert the i810_audio modules, it shows an error.
Added the user to the audio group
ginie:~# cat /etc/group | grep audio
audio:x:29:shatam
On logging in kde, an informaitonal messege pops up stating that no
devices found, the sound server would use the null device.
Please tell me, where I may be going wrong,
Thanks
