Bremer) Date: Wed Aug 31 18:18:47 2005 Subject: [Wd_general] ALSA Message-ID: <43162CCB.9060803@aol.com> Hi everybody, recently got a small PC-board , Geode GX1 uC, www.commell.com.tw/Product/SBC/LV-650.htm . WD boots from flashcard, USB and net is working fine. So far everything seems to work fine except for the onboard sound chip. Recompiled the kernel for OSS support and manufacturer supplied linux-driver. Kernel is fine but the drivers is not doing its job. So I thought of ALSA, but ran into several problems. Fixed a few(glibc 2.3.4, od, etc.) but compilation still fails. Anyone out there who managed to compile ALSA on WD ??
