iphitus Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah, it was 0.7.2, although the same happened once with 0.7.1 I think. Front is up 75%. So you do get a mixer? That's a good start. You say you have a laptop, what specs? When the module loads, it tries to detect what configuration you have, this doesnt always work. You can force a configuration, by loading the module with a model= option. To test them, just rmmod snd-hda-intel, and then modprobe snd-hda-intel model=xyz This link is from the 2.6.19 kernel docs: http://iphitus.loudas.com/arch/snd-hda-intel.txt Arch: I know the problem you had with the older installers for Arch, the test 0.8 one will work a lot better. We've made some big kernel level changes since 0.7... which is why you have those problems. 0.8 is correctly configured to setup everything.

JonEberger Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 i have two friends who ordered a dell d820 with an ipw3945 and the intel core duo processors. one friend put fc5/6 on his and another put whatever teh current suse version is. suse worked out of the box. both fc's have yet to work. good luck on this. as far as performance i really like the ipw cards and so want to know about which distro works well with it. i know that kubuntu worked out of the box for my ipw2100.

ianw1974 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 The laptop is a Toshiba Tecra A8. Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66GHz 1.5GB RAM 80GB HDD Intel HDA Audio Intel IPW3945 Wireless card there's other features as well, such as SD card, bluetooth, etc, etc. I'm not using bluetooth, so dunno if this works as no way to test, but everything else worked fine, except the sound. I was going to bring some headphones today, as I read somewhere that the headphone socket will work, just not the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James iph, Just out of interest, I've been to the archlinux website, but it still says 0.8 is pending. Do you know when it's due for stable release?

arctic Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Arch is a rolling distro, so "stable" point releases do not really exist (in theory), IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Well, ubuntu or kubuntu isn't doing very well on my laptop now. It's hit and miss on when it boots, freezing, all sorts. Mandriva was at least stable on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Arctic said, releases don't mean sweet bugger all in Arch. It's just a snapshot of the repo's at one point in time. Between now and 0.8, there's still a few big changes (pacman3, updated network scripts), but nothing that should break anything like mkinitcpio did. There's 0.8 pre release ISO's here: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/0.8 give those a shot. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I've built a vmware for the time being to run some testing and will see how it pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
