Just that the alsa hda drivers are undergoing quite a lot of changes |
| 11 |
upstream ATM, so you might expect possible behavior changes for 2.6.31 as |
| 12 |
you seem to have gotten for 2.6.30. I don't have that audio device here, |
| 13 |
mine's much older, but I do run direct git kernels, and have developed |
| 14 |
the habit of running a git whatchanged ORIG_HEAD.. after every git pull, |
| 15 |
just to follow the changes as they happen. As such, I've seen a LOT of |
| 16 |
those alsa:hda commits going by, so I know it's quite active ATM. |
| 17 |
However, it does appear most of those are simply adding tweaks and new |
| 18 |
model numbers to the list of what it supports, not major changes, so it's |
| 19 |
not /that/ bad. But there's still enough change that you might see bugs |
| 20 |
if you're running that hardware and nobody that's testing is running your |
| 21 |
particular model of it. But if they're reported, they should be fixed in |
| 22 |
short order, and even if you don't report them, the hardware's apparently |
| 23 |
common enough on mew machines that it'll probably be fixed in a stable |
| 24 |
update or two. (2.6.30 to 2.6.30.1 or .2, for instance, noting of course |
| 25 |
that those are the upstream versions, Gentoo uses -rX notation in place |
| 26 |
of the additional version digit, for its gentoo-sources packages.) |
