Would it be safe to assume that if I wasn't using the Audigy driver to begin with, I wouldn't see any difference with this test kernel? Reason for asking is that I would like to avoid a massive download which isn't going to do anything for me. On another front - the *release* (not test) kernel-2.4.20-13.9 doesn't seem to do good things for me - in fact on my IBM Thinkpad T30 (845 chipset, P4 1.8 GHz, 256 MB), performance is noticably more sluggish than the previous errata kernel, and even things like clicking on the KDE menu button on the taskbar take seconds before they produce a response. Boot back into the previous kernel, and response (while not snappy) is definitely bearable. Am not sure how to handle this, since 13.9 is a security release, which means that I *have* to use it, but I am certainly not a happy camper at the moment.
