I tried 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 on mdk 9.1 but, although it (appeared to) compile correctly, the modules wouldn't load, due to a dependency. I can't remember exactly which one, except that it had 'print' in it, which I found surprising. So it doesn't crash when I plug my quattro in, it does nothing. Oh, and the internal soundcard doesn't work either now. Do 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 usually compile properly under mandrake? Having read other comments here and on the cooker list, I get the feeling that this maybe more problematic than just my unfamiliarity with compiling things. If so, is there an available combination of alsa-version + mandrake version + quattro that I can use? Can I cheekily ask for a copy of the alsa-driver rpm that you had made? Alternatively, is there anything I can try, or should do to get current ones working? (I am not a programmer) Yours, hopefully Chris Butt
