hi adam, i got that working fine, i would like to ask you and the group i tried to compile the alsa drivers 0.5.2 with slackware 8.0, i am getting an error with the sound.o module, i have installed soundcore, i compiled the kernal with sound but still get errors compiling the alsa-driver. thanks in advance randy On 2001-11-28 speakup at braille.uwo.ca said: sp>It depends. If you use the Speakup boot disk that comes with sp>Slackware 8.0, and install its kernel, PPP probably won't work out sp>of the box. This is because whoever compiled it compiled it for sp>SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) when all the modules are for sp>single-processor machines. This causes a lot of trouble. There are sp>a number of solutions. sp>1: Build a new kernel. The advantage here is you can clean out the sp>default modules and install just the ones you need. You can also sp>get rid of other junk and possibly add support for that odd card or sp>two. 2: replace the modules with those for 2.2.19 kernels with SMP sp>support. They are provided on the Contrib CD. You would copy the sp>modules from the CD over the existing ones for 2.2.19. The sp>advantage of this method is you don't have to rebuild a kernel or sp>replace it. sp>3: get the modified Speakup boot disk from ftp.linux-speakup.org. sp>You would then copy its vmlinuz over your existing one and if you sp>use Lilo, rerun it by simply typing "lilo." The advantage of this sp>is that you don't have to replace a whole bunch of files. I sp>suspect that they will have this little issue fixed in the next sp>Slackware release. sp>I chose initially to install the SMP modules, then I downloaded the sp>latest kernel source once I was online and rebuilt. I think sp>rebuilding is a good thing in the long run as you can really cut sp>your boot time since the kernel isn't looking for non-existent sp>hardware plus, it makes your existing hardware work more reliably. sp>Hope this information helps. sp>_______________________________________________ sp>Speakup mailing list sp>Speakup at braille.uwo.ca sp>http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
