:-)

to see what drivers you could try and load take a look at

#> cat /proc/pci

or if it is installed;

#> lspci -v

this will list the devices in your system directly what they say to the pci
bus. you can then try loading modules for them with 'modconf'

once with i tried for ages to get sound working with kde on my sparc ultra5 and
gave up, for some reason it only worked if i didnt use esound. :-)

good luck

you could always post your dmesg and /proc/pci output here,
