by I've just installed an update to RH5.1
(kernel-headers-2.0.35-3.1.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.0.35-3.1.i386.rpm)
with support for the Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI sound card. After a
couple of false starts I finally got to the point where I could do an
'insmod soundcore' followed by an 'insmod es1371'. That's the good news.
There is still no audio. If I do a 'cat /dev/sndstat' I get an 'Option
not supported...' message. Also, looking at dmesg output it appears that
the card is timing out during the configuration phase. I don't have the
exact wording right now since I'm back in Win95 for newsgroup access
(that's an entirely different story!). Not sure what's causing the
timeout - the card works fine under Win95.
Suggestions as to what's next on the list to try will be greatly
appreciated (other than paying $20.00 for a set of drivers :-) )
