Both installed without any real difficulty at all. The 1st<br />distro was Ubuntu version 7.04 Feisty Fawn, x86 version 32bit. The 2nd was<br />Open SuSE 10.2 x86 version 32bit. I simply installed the iso's after burning them<br />to DVD's and let the fun begin.Installation was very straightforward and easy, so easy a caveman could do it.... sorry could not resist that. Only after the install completed I had no sound on both distros. That was easliy fixed though with in 5 minutes I had complete sound.I use this notebook for games, a lot and have had no problem playing all my favorites under Cedega 6.02. I used to use Windows and have been a Linux<br />enthusiast since the early 90's. I started using Linux when I picked up a book at<br />a Barnes and Noble book store and there in it contained free CD's to Red Hat Linux,<br />and Slackware Linux. I tried them both and stuck with Red Hat for a while. It was not too long after that I was able to ditch Windows for good. Sorry, Bill.<br />Oh, so anyways, this is what I did to set up the sound under both distros;<br />Open SusE 10.2 and Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn.<br /><br />Get the latest sound drivers,libs,utilities,firmware from ALSA.<br /><br />alsa-firmware-1.0.14rc4<br />alsa-lib-1.0.14rc4<br />alsa-utils-1.0.14rc4<br />alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4<br /><br /><br />run ./configure for all files after<br />extracting them to their<br />folders.<br /><br />then run make<br />then run make install<br />Note: DO THE DRIVERS LAST ! ! ! !<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Added this to sound file at /etc/modprobe.d/sound<br />for SuSE<br /><under><br />/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base<br />for Ubuntu<br /><under><br /><br />alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel<br />alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel<br />#options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack<br />options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig<br /><br />re-booted.<br /><br />had sound.... yipeeeee!!!!!!!!</under></under><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8319285898849339150-8526043424985695130?l=linuxmostadvancedosever.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Grayashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03761607648506887077noreply@blogger.com3
