yay for not sleeping :P (but its only been two days for me)
well, what would recompiling the kernel do for me? would i loose all the stuff i have installed? I might just download the .iso's for slack 10.1 and install that since kde is growing on me and ive f...ed up other stuff with this instalation

Pretty much the only thing that went right was that my wireless worked from the beginning...
but what do you think would be better, recompile the kernel, or upgrade to 10.1?

ps. im leaving in the morning to go to...somewhere/cant remeber so ill be gone for awhile...

Okay, think you misunderstood :P
When you do the nem kernel, you will never loose, the worse thing that can happen is to recompile again, that are a lot of docs on the net about this

My advice is, when you configure lilo, or whatever you use to boot, do NOT change the entry wich is there, instead, create a new one, so, if your kernel do not bootstrap, you can re boot from the old one

When the nem kernel gets OK you will no longer need to care about the modules, cause it will be already in it!

So, you can just mix the sound, with rexima or whatever

You will not need to reinstall or deinstall anything, okay? Dont be worryed abouyt it now :P

Perhaps kde was a mistake, heard about enlightenment? Muck better, but will require some confs from the user, KDE make people dependent and addicts :P
Joking, use what ou like

Hope you compile it without probems

but it does not happen very often :P

haha i have heard of enlightenment, and used it on my old laptop. I really liked it, but the setup took me almost 4 days :P I ended up having the laptop taken away from me though

But ill have to read up on the this kernel stuff :P

Dont forget to tell if you got anyproblem or if you solve the problem

**LoserWithCause** · 04-24-2005

well, i installed slackware 10.1. It works really well, but still no sound. I ran alsaconf, and everything went fine, but still no sound. When I try to open a mixer, It says "no mixer elems found" or something alon those lines...

yet again, i have no idea of what to do

**slith** · 04-25-2005

Did you try another mixer? When I recompiled my 2.6.x kernel, rexima stopped working, but alsamixer worked well, so, try using other mixers, if the problem persists, try the module loading ( did you load the correct module? ) Hope it helps..

**LoserWithCause** · 04-25-2005

kmix, amixer, and alsamixer dont work...and im a little confused about the modules. how do i know which is the right one? and how do i find/load it?

**slith** · 04-28-2005

Hm, thats easy, to see the card you have, do the:

Code:

lspci

The, look the line about multimedia, the alphanumeric code may be the module name, to check it, go to:

Code:

cd /lib/modules/2.x2y/kernel/sound/pci

And look for the code you found with lspci, the, you load the module with

Code:

modprobe modulename

without the extension, so, dont put the .o.gz or whatever it is, hope this help you

**LoserWithCause** · 05-06-2005

still no luck

ill keep playing around with more modules, but i have noticed that my sound works if i run the slackware live cd. Could i find out what module it uses, and then load that myself? Or are there any alsaconf settings i could copy?

**Krendoshazin** · 05-06-2005

try this

modprobe snd-ac97-codec
modprobe snd-intel8x0 ac97_clock=48000

and then add snd-intel8x0m to /etc/hotplug/blacklist, see if that does the trick
