by So far so good, but I'm still experiencing a few annoying
show-stoppers with the Yggdrasil Linux, and these seem common
enough, I was surprised to find no explicit mention in the
/usr/docs ... if anyone has these troubles solved, your
learned experience is most welcome :-)
At the top of my list is supporting the SoundBlaster 16/ASP card; I
could get sound using IRQ 7/DMA 1, but I have other software that
requires leaving the jumper at IRQ 5, and setting the DMA to 5 for
the 16-bit port makes my zImage halt while loading daemons (at the
point where the 8000Hz sound test occurs) I've configured with
the partial sound support, including only the SB and MPU --- that
latter is a little confusing as my SB docs make no mention of an
IRQ number for the MPU, and using either 5 or 3 with the SB on 5
results in the lockup (or may have nothing to do with it).
Another very annoying "feature" of Linux is the speed ;-) I can't
find the place to set the key-repeat rate and the effect is driving
me ccrazy! How do I adaptt Linux to my sloppy typing habits?
