- sound

         Sound worked right out of the box. But when I tried playing DVD, the sound was really choppy, lagging a lot ... pretty badly screwed up! (I used omi_gtk dvd player from

         the Livid project). 

         So I decided to use ALSA drivers as reccomended by quite a few people. I downloaded ALSA 0.5.8, untar it, and switched to the directory. Run these commands :

         - ./configure --with-cards=cs461x

         - make

         - make install

         After this, you can find the modules on /lib/modules/(kernel version)/misc directory.

         Then, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf file :

         alias char-major-116 snd

         alias char-major-14 soundcore

         alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs461x

         alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

         alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss

         alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss

         alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

         alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

- TokenRing: try ibmtr_cs.o

  http://www.linuxtr.net/newhowto/Token-Ring.html

   I have a Token Ring Auto 4/16 Credit Card Adaptor that works good with my SuSE setup. One major key to getting it to work was

   having at least the 3.x.x series of PCMCIA card services loaded onto your machine. Additionally in your conf.modules file you'll need the

   following verbage: 

     alias tr0 ibmtr_cs mmiobase=0xd6000 srambase=0xd8000 ringspeed=[16]|[4] sramsize=16 irq_list=9



	/etc/pcmcia

	-> config.opts

	# Options for IBM Token Ring adapters

	module "ibmtr_cs" opts "mmiobase=0xd000 ..."    <- auskommentieren

- Token Ring Card

To get the IBM Turbo tokenring 4/16 to work on a Thinkpad 770(9548) I did

the following.

Kernel 2.2.10

pcmcia-cs-3.0.13 And edit '/etc/pcmcia/config.opts' like this

#

# Local PCMCIA Configuration File

#

include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff

include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff

#

# Extra port range for IBM Token Ring

#

include port 0xa00-0xaff

#

# Resources we should not use, even if they appear to be available

#

# First built-in serial port

exclude irq 4

# Second built-in serial port

#exclude irq 3

# First built-in parallel port

exclude irq 7
