Description Dave Andruczyk 2006-02-02 11:05:18 UTC 
When attempting to emerge alsa driver it complains about the PM_LEGACY feture being turned off in the kernel (my kernel is 2.6.16_rc1).  According to ALSA's Changelog for 1.0.11rc3 this kernel feature is no longer required...

Snippet from alsa's site for the 1.0.11_rc3 changelog:
http://alsa-project.org/changes/v1-0-11rc2--v1-0-11rc3.txt
+ ALSA Core
    - Fix compile on 2.6.15 without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY


This also applies to later kernels (tested with 2.6.16_rc1)
Commenting out that section in the ebuild and issuing "emerge alsa-driver-1.0.11_rc3.ebuild digest" and then emerging alsa-driver installed without a hitch, and functions fine.  It seems that the PM_LEGACY check  is not longer necessary and can be removed entirely.

Yep sorry I forgot to remove it, I knew it was going to go away. Fixed now.
