problem with FC3 on R51 2887-KA4

[kagesenshi]

hi ... im new here .. a 18 yrs ol student that quite new to linux ... less than 6 month using it ...

i got a problem here ... i have a R51 running FC3 .... before this i use Mandrake10.1 ...

when i use mandrake, all hardwares are supported perfectly except the wireless card (which i manage to find the way to enable it)... after a while using mandrake and get used to linux, i decided to use FC3 ... after installation, the system runs perfectly...but after a few days, i decided to upgrade the kernel from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11 ... however, after i compile the new kernel, a problem arise ... my soundcard doesn't work with the kernel ... then.... i also realised that even with the 2.6.9 kernel my sound system only work if i use Gnome... if i login to KDE, the sound system malfunctions and it continue not to work even if i log back in to Gnome...

somebody ... please... help me ...

another thing... how to make ACPI workin? ... ive tried the method in thinkwiki but it failed ... everytime i suspend-to-ram my R51 wont resume ... when i press the Fn key, the screen turns on with a message sort of like this..

Suspending system=================================================================
===========

why did this happen?? ..... also ... ive installed ibm_acpi module in the kernel .. but the Fn hotkeys still does not work...

suspend-to-disk works with klaptop_acpi_helper ... but with one problem ..after resuming, the clock is not updated .. for example... if i hibernate it on 6pm tuesday and turn it on on 2pm wednesday, the clock still show 6pm tuesday .... anyone know how to correct this ...???

i really appreciate ur help...
and sorry because my english is not quite good

try running aumix and make sure the line-jack sense and head phone sense are disabled. Turn on the PCM and Volume. Make sure the ALSA modules are compiled with the kernel.

Good luck.

Did you get any luck to solve the problem? I got exactly the same problem, But I am using a T43. Thanks.

I just fixed my undcard problem, it seems the new version of the driver supports something like 'Headphone Jack Sense' , Have to 'mute' in in Gnome volume control to make the sound card work.
