Sound card bug with RetroPrecise 5.4.3?

#1 Post by VictorVictor5 »

Greetings all and I hope this is in the right category.

I was tinkering with Retro Puppy 5.4.3 and noticed it doesn't have drivers for my sound card, but Puppy Wary 5.3 does.

(Noob alert) - Is this a bug? Or do I somehow need to get the files from Wary to put on Retro?

If that's the case, how do I do that?

Specs: Gateway Solo 9100 w/Optional Trident, 384 MB RAM, 160 GB HDD (in partitions). The sound card (from what I remember) is a Yamaha OPL3_SAx.

Thanks!
VV5

copying drivers from one puppy to another, is not possible. doing that confuses the driver AND the kernel.
