Hi,
I have been running Linux for a while, and it runs great on my 486SX-33
w/ 4Meg of RAM. But I can't run X because my sound card conflicts w/ my
serial mouse.
I have an 8-bit Thunderboard sound card and a Logitech serial mouse in
my system. I know that the problem is w/ the sound card because when I took
it out, X-windows came up fine. Also, when I boot Linux, it says that it
has found a network card when it does an ethernet probe. It didn't do this
when the card was removed (I don't have an ethernet card). I've tried
changing the IRQ address and I/O address, and even inserting the card into
another slot, but with no avail.
I've heard that I have to re-compile the kernel for Linux to properly
recognize my sound board. I would greatly appreciate anyone out there that
could tell me exactly how to solve my problem, as I have no idea how to
re-compile the Linux kernel. Please email me replies, as I don't read this
group often enough, and the files on our news server aren't kept that long
due to tight disk space. Thanks in advance.
