It's just a patch _for_ the 36pre code, not a new 36pre patch (if
that makes sense). 36 pre 12 doesn't contain the new sound drivers.
However, the sound patch alan mentioned patches against the 2.0.36 code
rather than the 2.1.12x code. So you end up with a stable kernel and the
option of using the new sound drivers.
There is a slight problem with it though- make xconfig dies on the sound
section:
Error: Invalid command name "istring"
Stack trace:
invalid command name "istring"
while executing
"istring $w.config.f 13 5 " Full pathname of MSNDINIT.BIN firmware
file" CONFIG_MSNDCLAS_INIT_FILE"
(procedure "menu13" line 38)
invoked from within
"menu13 .menu13 "Sound""
invoked from within
".f0.x13 invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tkButtonUp" line 8)
invoked from within
"tkButtonUp .f0.x13"
(command bound to event)
This occurs in the file scripts/kconf.tk (surprise surprise).
Is this a hang-on from 2.1 and the Tk code used in xconfig there?
Or am I missing something? (Conceptually or physically).
Cheers,
Mike
