problem with an old ISA sound card (isapnptools config)

[mikaEL]

---

hi, I've installed Slackware 10 on my (old) machine (AMD K6-II 266 Mhz,..., ISA Sound card : Yamaha OPL-SA3 ). and I tried to install my sound card with the ISApnpTools)
In my terminal, as root I typed "pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf according to the manual about this stuff.
...and I get this loooong 'poem' ):

I know I should comment out something but I don't know what ...

hello
i have a yamaha isa sound card, and the following works fine for me (Slacware 10.0, KDE 3.2):

Step 1:
go to " /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/ " and unzip the files: " opl3.o.gz " and " opl3sa.o.gz ".
go to " /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/isa " and unzip the file " snd-opl3sa2.o.gz ".
go to " /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3 " and unzip the files " snd-opl3-lib.o.gz " and " snd-opl3-synth.o.gz ".

Step 2:
first, the command you used " pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf "
then " isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf "
third, as super user (type " su " in aommand prompt and give root password) " modprobe \* "

then you have to put a line in your " rc.local ", its situated in " /etc/rc.d " or a similar directory. open rc.local with kedit (as root), and put the same command you just used:
" modprobe \* "
save the file.
now after a reboot your sound card should be active !

hope this helps you.
