Hi!
I got a laptop with a ordinary ESS 1879 card, a soundblaster-compatible card that runs just fine in redhat. I do not want to support Redhat inc. anymore because of, *you know why*($$$$profitprofitprofit20goto10) and therefore would like to migrate myself and my old laptop to debianheaven with a little hdinstall-help from knoppix.
In redhat there is a nice tool that let one CHOOSE which soundcard-configuration to use if it cant autodetect, which it by the way fails to do. Well, anyway i then manually just have to choose "soundblaster pro" and then sit back and enjoy the music. The tool is called "sndconfig" and it has been ported to knoppix, but with the tiny little difference that knoppixversion just do not work at all. Anyone that ever had the problem im mentioning now has read about that in numerous post at this forum. "segmentation fault" is all that happens.
Why is the tool still on the knoppix distro one might wonder? At least i do. OK, to the point, this is my question;
Is there a way i ever can fix this, or am i and everyone else with the ESS-card eternally condamned to redhat-purgatory?
If anyone could please help me with this it would be great, a hint, a guess, anything would be very, very helpfull.
Take care
Björn.
