Hi all, i got two questions:
I just read about this Vesa think know being supported in the kernel, i have heard friends saying that this think improves graphics in windows 9x...they told me all i required was that my graphic board is vesa-compatible.....i got a Cirrus logic 5446 on and i586 machine....know it is a good idea that i compile the kernel with vesa support...will it be usefull ??? doesn't have any problem with XFree ??? (i use version 3.3.3.1)
And talking about the SB AWE64, i haven't been able to make the AWE table work, awe_wave says it doesn't dettect it and i tried uncommenting the lines in awe_config.h about the base io address and the DRAM size, it prints <SoundBlaster EMU..blabla> then i load a font with sfxload and try drvmidi but there isn't any sound, playmidi says something like no playback device found aborting.....What can it be ??...the other modules load well and detect the card, Could it be that the card has enabled the mpu-401 uart, i read in the manuall that it's disabled setting a jumpper ??? Acording to OSS/Comercial my card is a Creative SB AWE64 PnP type 4
Thanks for your answers !!!!!
