[Sussex] PCMCIA-CS

Nik

Sorry I tried to e-mail you this before I drove home from NY using the
new web insterface to Outlook - runs much better than Outlook over a 56k modem
line.  But I got interrupted and that caused the like to timeout :-(

Anyway hope this helps:

Nik - as I know the version of the kernel your using I might beable to help
here.

First of got back the ACPI patch.  I was tracking that in the 2.5 kernel stream
for awhile.  Unless you have a machine that matches one of the ACPI kernel hackers
then I'd forget it.  There is still a lot of work to do and every PC maker seams
to have interruptted the ACPI spec in their own way :-(

Second make sure that you have lspli installed (apt-get install pciutils).
Then run it it will give you a list of the devices on the PCI bus:

After some digging I found out the the Intel ICH sound option (CONFIG_SOUND_ICH)
worked.  I know you have a different Vaio to me, but Sony use the Intel chip
set so have a dig around - searching around the source turns up a number of 
hits on AC97:
	$ cd /usr/src/linux # or the dir where you're linux source is installed
	$ find drivers -name \*.c | xargs grep -l AC97
	drivers/char/au1000_gpio.c
	drivers/sound/ymfpci.c
	drivers/sound/via82cxxx_audio.c
	drivers/sound/trident.c
	drivers/sound/swarm_cs4297a.c
	drivers/sound/nm256_audio.c
	drivers/sound/nec_vrc5477.c
	drivers/sound/maestro3.c
	drivers/sound/maestro.c
	drivers/sound/ite8172.c
	drivers/sound/i810_audio.c
	drivers/sound/es1371.c
	drivers/sound/cs46xx.c
	drivers/sound/cmpci.c
	drivers/sound/au1000.c
	drivers/sound/ac97_codec.c
	drivers/sound/cs4281/cs4281m.c
	drivers/sound/ac97.c
	drivers/sound/emu10k1/recmgr.c
	drivers/sound/emu10k1/mixer.c
	drivers/sound/emu10k1/main.c
	drivers/sound/emu10k1/audio.c
	drivers/sound/emu10k1/cardwi.c
	drivers/sound/emu10k1/hwaccess.c
	drivers/pci/quirks.c

I know this works for me bb works fine now with the sound.  Can't get esd to
work :-(.  It beeps the sound card when it starts up but I can't get 
Enlightenment, dsdcat or esdplay to do anything - they just lock up for a
bit.  Next problem to solve with sound (any of you have a clue?).

Hope this helps
