You've got me; this setup was hacked together under an old udev version, |
| 37 |
where compiling all the modules statically simply did not work for me, |
| 38 |
and I have updated udev about 3 times since then. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
But I didn't mean to imply my workaround was anything but that, nor that |
| 41 |
the problem I had been working around still existed. I don't know, to be |
| 42 |
honest. I've been too busy hotfixing PAM/login/DISPLAY issues, |
| 43 |
reconfiguring my system to use KDE programs because GNOME/CORBA/gconf |
| 44 |
broke out of the blue for reasons unknown, and I'm trying to bail the |
| 45 |
boat and avoid a complete reinstall (which would be even more of a pain |
| 46 |
than all the emerge -e s and emerge --newuse s that I've been doing for |
| 47 |
the past two weeks, but it's getting to be a photo finish in terms of |
| 48 |
which strategy is more tedious at this point). Atm, I'm just glad that I |
| 49 |
have sound, given the general instability I've got going on, and |
| 50 |
checking to see if alsasound would continue to work if I did it "right" |
| 51 |
is just not high on my list of priorities right now. So I've left it as |
| 52 |
it was. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
But you probably are correct that I could now configure alsasound |
| 55 |
"properly" and it would continue to work. I just changed some kernel |
| 56 |
modules anyway and recompiled, so I might as well fix alsasound too |
| 57 |
before I reboot (got the end of an emerge -e gnome-light going; 2 |
| 58 |
packages left, so it will be a bit before I reboot). So thanks for |
| 59 |
reminding me ;-) . |
