OSS driver for solaris x86 64 bit?

[Ron]

There appears to be an OSS driver for my laptop audio (via 8233) but only in 32 bit mode.

Do you know when 64 bit support will be available?

Thanks,

Hi,


We're working on 64bit drivers for AMD64 - right now there's a strange crash in OSS - the same code works perfectly on x86 in 32bit and on Sparc in 64bit mode so we're trying to see if it's an OSS problem or a kernel problem. Stay tuned.....

Work great so far, I don't have any games or anything, but XMMS and GNOME work...that's good enough for me.

I have installed the package driver for solaris on an ultra20 (64bit),
everything goes fine, oss recoder and player works.

But I have made a sys-unconfig, big mistake :
when i boot : the kernel told me that i have errors in driver_classes and driver_aliases and the system reboot after displaying those lines.

I can't remove the drivers in a failsafe session :

Code: Select all

$ pkgrm oss
pkgrm: ERROR: can t open admin file <default> : no such file

...hum... any idea to get a clean boot ?

thanks in advance

You can run ossdetect and redetect the drivers. Then run soundon

To remove a package in failsafe session do:

# mount your boot disk to /a (and /var to /a/var, /usr to /a/usr, etc. if they are on other slices); example:

mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /var

Then do a

pkgrm -R /a oss
