...alsaconf does not detect soundcard. HELP! VIA AC97 onboard sound, support is compiled into the kernel.

Second, pidgin is giving me this error:
Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_get_name: assertion 'GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
WARNING: cannot open display: unset.

Eep?

Forget the Pidgin thing. It mysteriously works now.

I sorry, but did you just channel Sigma because that really sounded like a Siggy problem. :p

I channel Siggy a lot for computer problems. For some reason, bleeding on machines seems to work well. Also, sacrificing virgin bulls (which for me means hopping into a BG as Alliance and killing Tauren - plenty of virgins there! ;p)

Update to sound situation. ALSA now detects my soundcard. But I'm getting the dreaded "Invalid module" error. This happened for a few days straight when getting my video drivers to work, so I figure, hey, same thing! Remake kernel and modules, boot into new kernel, reinstall, no problem, right? WRONG. Still the same problem :-( And I'd really rather not hear "do a fresh install" as a solution, because I've re-installed this system a great many times (I lost count at 12) over the last week. Everything is working except this (well, the Gnome screensaver as well, but I can't remember the last time I used a screensaver so I don't care).
