hi

i thought i had got my sound system working on my laptop but a few problems
have cropped up again.

i compiled soundcore module in kernel 2.6.11.10 and then downloaded alsa
drivers from www.alsa-project.org. my soundcard is supported :

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=ATI&card=.&chip=IXP+150%2C+IXP+200%2C+IXP+250&module=atiixp

however an attempt to modprobe the modules (they did not get loaded one day
from the modules.conf (yes, on debian i know that one needs to modify stuff
inside /etc/modutils and then run update-modules + also /etc/modprobe.d --
quick question why would there be 2 config files for the same task - aint
that confusing ??).

i recompiled alsa driver,libs and utils following instructions on that url
above *to the letter*.

loaded modules before modprobe :

modprobe fails again with this junk :
