Bug 144903 – media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.12_rc3 with a patch for ALC883

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description smrspam88 2006-08-23 13:23:15 UTC]

Hi,
Currently the support for the ALC883 chipset is broken (at least on several acer notebooks, see alsa bug entry 2261), but a patch against alsa-driver-1.0.12_rc3 has been releasad. I modified the 1.0.12_rc1-r1 ebuild (added just one line). The patch itself is pretty straightforward. You might consider adding this to portage until the problem is fixed in alsa-driver mainline. If you don't add this into official portage I will meanwhile try to submit patched ebuilds in this bug entry .

Greetings,
Momsen

updated media-sound/alsa-headers ebuild

you will need an updated version of media-sound/alsa-headers, too. This ist just a renamed ebuild of the current version in portage

hi, this pathc is for alsa-driver-1.0.12_rc3, so it don't work for 1.0.12_rc1-r1

Yeah, thats why I appended an ebuild for rc3.

ho, sorry, I haven't understand that thoses ebuilds are 1.0.12-rc3 ('cause looking at $Header...) thx a lot for them. ebuilds are working fine here.

the fix is included in 1.0.13_rc1; for I'm behind a firewall for the next two weeks I'm unable to test it but others have reported that the fix works. therefore I would be happy if 1.0.13_rc1 (or higher) can be marked stable soon.

Close UPSTREAM as it has been fixed already by upstream, I suppose. Reopen if it's not the case.
