bb002 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 My Sound card is a Yamaha OPL3SA2. My Printer is a Lexmark X75 All-in-One-Printer. My Joystick is a Logitech Rumble Pad 2. (Don't really need drivers for this though.) Lexmark and Logitech do not seem to be offering linux drivers. And being a linux noob, I have no idea where to turn too.

bb002 Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 After reading this page ("Documentation/sound/oss/OPL3-SA2") I still have no idea where to apply the settings or how to apply them. The card is Onboard if that makes any difference. And the bios automatically configures a device's irq, i/o, etc. The two methods i read about where for the kernel command line, where ever that is. Automatic module loading and i have no clue where to find out if that is on or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb002 Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Alright. Finally figured out how to do automatic module loading. Still nothing...I guess. After a restart, log off and back in I will get error message. about unable to open device /dev/spd sound will now use the null output device. Whether that means i am getting closer or not i don't know. Forgot to say this before: I am running MandrakeLinux 10.0 in KDE 3.2. It would appear i somehow downloaded the old version. I'm waiting for 10.2 to become final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb002 Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) I GOT IT!!!!! in the /etc/modprobe.conf the aliases lines i had: alias snd-card-0 opl3sa2 alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2 instead of: alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2 alias sound-slot-0 snd-opl3sa2 all it took was "snd-" to get it working. took me 3 hours to figure that one out . It sucks to be a noob. Then i found out that i had to boost the kmix volume controls (they were all at zero) Got my sound problem solved. Now for the all-in-one, I bumped into some documentation somewhere...Think I will wait for 10.2 to mess with that. Same goes for the rumblepad too. problem solved. Now i can goto bed. I was up until 4:30 (gmt -6) last night trying to get it to work and i had to get up 3 hours later. [edit] Thanks for the point in the right direction BVC! bty: Umm....is it just me or does the preview post button not work??
