How to compile a new (audio) driver for Thinstation (2.2.2)?


Hello everybody!

Since nobody seems to have the driver for Realtek ALC662 audio chip used on
Intel atom-based motherboard, I obviously need to compile it myself. Since I
have never compiled anything for Thinstation (and also nothing for Linux at
all for that matter) I need you help.

I've downloaded the Linux driver from Realtek (LinuxPkg_5.10.tar.bz2) and I
need your guidance from here onwards.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. I'm sorry if there is a FAQ about this matter somewhere but I couldn't
find it.

Did you try the snd-hda-intel module (although the ALC662 is possibly  
later than the one compiled in the stock 2.2.2)?
Your previous posts didn't indicate what you had/hadn't tried....

Or just click the Developer link on the left-hand menu of Thinstation.org

Not so sure that this will help that much (looking at the problems  
other distros have had with this driver..).

One other option is to try the 2.6.27.4 contributed kernel for 2.2.2  
(which includes the latest drivers for that kernel).

Good Luck

Yes I have and it doesn't work.

Thank you. I hope I will manage to compile something. :)

Didn't think it was new enough to include the latest chipsets... but  
worth a try.

You can try to compile your own if you are interested in a bit of  
learning.. :-)
But I was offering an alternative that includes a later snd-hda-intel  
module that may be easier for you to implement.

If you use the kernel upgrade path, just rename your <build  
dir>/kernel directory as kernel_old (or whatever) and then untar the  
new kernel package in the <build dir>.

To restore back to your original, just
cd <build dir>
rm -R kernel
mv kernel_old kernel
mv packages/base/lib/modules/2.6.27.4 packages/base/lib/modules/2.6.16.5

Unfortunatelly I need the Realtek 8168 driver (for the D945GCLF2
motherboard) and I don't see it in the 2.6.24.7 kernel package, so I'm
forced to stay with the original Thinstation 2.2.2 kernel. :(

host a TS-O-Matic

What are your requirements for TS-O-Matic host?  I'm interested in hosting TS-O-Matic, I'm based in the U.S.

A linux/BSD box capable of doing a Thinstation build + apache & php >= 4.3

We would love to have a US TSoM again... :-)

Mike may be able to give you some details on usual disk space &  
bandwidth usage.

Re: Ang. Re: Solved: Thinstation 2.4 & Citrix Reciever 11.0

We'll do this through the developer list so that everyone can review the
archives....

Cool, then I can produce a 'common' patch.

Look back through the archives. I thought someone had identified thia
and some form of patch previously (or maybe they identified it and the
patch didn't make it...).

Did you try xorg7-nvidia?

Re: Ang. Re: Solved: Thinstation 2.4 & Citrix Reciever 11.0

It would be easier to use the xorg7-nvidia package IF I had included it
in the 2.4a1 release.... Sorry!!

Enjoy!

Ang. Re: Ang. Re: Solved: Thinstation 2.4 & Citrix Reciever 11.0


Hi,
The version of 2.4 from the download page on sourceforge doesn't contain a
xorg7-nvidia package.

Is there a more recent version available somwhere?

Regards,

Rickard
