Here are the alias and option lines to add for the
IBM thinkpad 770/765/etc. line of laptops.

FOr a HD install, you can edit your /etc/modutils...

alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
alias synth0 opl3
options sound dmabuf=1
options opl3 io=0x388
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5

From a live cd, I would also type into a terminal as root....

cd /lib/modules/2.4.22xfs/kernel//drivers/sound
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5

That usually works....

cd /usr/lib/modules/"kernel"/drivers/sound
Folder not found

What can I do ?

My bad....

Try this....

type "sudo su" <enter>
to get to root.

type "cd /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound <enter>
( or type "mc" <enter> - and use up/down keys and enter to get to path )

then type "insmod uart401" <enter>

then type "insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5" <enter>

I think you can press "ctrl-alt-backspace" <enter>
to exit X server,
then type "startx" <enter>
to restart X server
right click to menu - go to "Desktop - Full Enhanced Desktop"
and left click..
You should see the wmixer on the bottom of your slit.

After doing the second line you told me after cd .....

I do it in root
Posted by ke4nt1 on May 17 2004,02:26
I don't think it works if you add the .o to the end of the file
( insmod uart401 ) not ( insmod uart401.o )

I just tried it again with 0.7 DSL on my IBM 770 thinkpad. From
scratch on a live bootup..  Works great !

Again, exit out of xserver by ctrl-alt-backspace....  run startx...
use your menu to load the Full Enhanced Desktop, and you should
see your wmix mixer on the bottom of your slit

I used and still use

cd /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound <enter>
insmod uart401 <enter>

insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5" <enter>


And still nothing does it work with thinkpad 770z?
Posted by ke4nt1 on May 17 2004,19:40
OK...   Did some further checking...
The 770z uses a different card than the 770
the 770z is a crystal srs 3d
the 770 is a crystal 4232

Here is a post I found thru an IBM search from IBM.com on 770z and linux.

To add SoundBlaster functionality, you need to insert the module for sb. The line should read something like: insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma_16=5, or whatever your paramaters are. To have this insert automatically, you need an file called sb in /etc/modules/options. These same arguments (The stuff after insmod sb) go into the file, which will get read while the system reads the rc.modules file during boot up.

I would try typing the modprobe command or insmod manually
first before editing your /etc/modutils or /etc/modules.

Hope it helps...  I don't know if you need to run the
uart for midi or not....
