[alsa-devel] SB X-Fi driver fixes (Re: Testers wanted:

[bill at tellytopia.com]

Yes, I have loaded the module snd-ctfxi many times,
and unloaded snd-hda-intl.
Also blacklisted snd-hda-intel, and put snd-ctxfi into modprobe.conf.

I get more warnings on compiling the driver than you do - see below.
(the messages below are from today not from Tuesday. The driver source
was downloaded this morning.)

Fedora Core 8:

A couple of days ago I got this:
config.status: WARNING:  'Makefile.conf.in' seems to ignore the
--datarootdir setting
but now this:
$as_echo "$as_me: WARNING: $ac_file_inputs seems to ignore the
--datarootdir setting" >&2;}
