FC4 Video and Audio with Compaq Presario 2200

pembo13 · #1 21st August 2005, 06:51 PM

Hello,

I have installed Fedora Core 4 on my recently aquired Compaq Presario 2200. Install went ok. However, post install revealed that the sound card fails to initialize, and the resolution only goes up to 800x600. The machine came with Windows XP home already installed: the embeded wifi, audio and video al function properly there of course. So the problem is software, not hardware.

I have seen information on how to enable the wifi via ndiswrapper, I have not finished attempting install of the drivers just yet.

Please advise. I'd rather not use Windows full time.

Peace.

I have been able to fix the video. But the audio is still a probelm. Here's some output:

Where yo able to do a sound test after installation? Most compaqs with the ALI sound are supported by fedora.

system-config-sound stalls when I attempt to test the sound, that's when it throws up the error messages.

dear pembol1,

i have a compaq presario and have the same problem.
i have the same ac 97 modem with the linux driver cd but need kernel to compile it.
i have downloaded kernel from fc4 download to my ntfs partition but cant swap downloads to linux cos my usb thumb drive dont work

pembo13 · #8 26th August 2005, 04:35 PM

Well I haven't attempted to enable the modem as I don't really use dialup.

Maybe i can help,, not sure if this exact line will fix your but it did fix mine.

--------------------

I have a Compaq Presario V2000, running Fedora Core 4. I too had no sound after installing FC4, it seemed to see the card in the log, but no sound.

For some reason FC4 seemed think my on-board Intel Sound Card was a USB Device.

So adding the following line to "/etc/hotplug/blacklist" got it working:

Quote:

snd-intel8x0m

Reboot, and see if that works for you. If you have a different intel driver then replace the above line with the name of the driver your card would use.

Hope that helps!

pembo13 · #10 30th August 2005, 04:23 PM

It is already there. I am not sure if that is good or bad.

imdeemvp · #11 30th August 2005, 09:46 PM

Have you run the updates....it is necessary to fix some bugs....

pannet1 · #12 31st August 2005, 05:06 AM

dear,

i have blacklisted my snd-intel8x0 in the hotplug dir but it still does not work.
i cant run the updates as well because i dont have a working modem so far in linux.
i have two modems. 1) conexant ac 97 internal and 2) conexant globespan usb winmodem.

best regards
b karthick
