[Sound] Re: problems in driving the sound card and video for version 6.2

[Manish Kathuria <kathuriam usa net>]

Hi Vinod,

Lets start with sound first. Red Hat 6.2 won't have drivers for your
onboard audio and video. Got to the Alsa Project web site and download
the latest set of ALSA drivers. It has sound drivers for Intel 810
chipset. The URL is :

http://www.alsa-project.org/

Intel has provided linux drivers for older kernel and XFree versions.
For configuring the 810 onboard video and downloading the drivers check
out the following sites:

http://www.exocore.com/linux/i810
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel810/linuxsoftware.htm

The monitor may not be supported by the distribution but it always has
an option for custom settings where you can specify the horizontal and
vertical refresh rates for your monitor. Check your monitor manual for
that and use any of the following configuration utilities:

Xconfigurator
xf86cfg
xf86config

Cheers,

Manish Kathuria
