-!!1. Introduction
-
-
-
-
-
-I got the mainboard for christmas 2001, and after a little while, I understood
-that the new chipset sis735 was not handled by
-Mandrake 8.,
-OSS had drivers for it that worked
-but I didn't really want to pay for it, so I looked on ALSA cvs and found that
-in their latest sources they had something for the sis 7012, and also find
-later the drivers for the sensors.
-
-
-

-
-!!2. The integrated sound board
-
-
-
-
-!!2.1 Getting the ALSA drivers
-
-
-
-
-So we'll compiling the latest sources from ALSA, which should work for any other
-distrib as well... just the kernel sources will change because mandrake uses
-specific patches.
-
-
-You may get your kernel sources from your distribution or from
-http://www.kernel.org
-
-
-Here can be found Mandrake sources for the kernel used in 8.:
-
-
-
-ftp://ftp.univ-savoie.fr/pub/Linux/Mandrake/8./i586/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel -source-2.4.3-20mdk.i586.rpm
-
-
-and grab the tarball from ALSA:
-
-
-
-ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-.9.0beta10.tar.bz2
-
-
-
-
-!!2.2 Installing them
-
-
-
-
-Install your kernel sources, in my case:
-
-
-''rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.3-20mdk.i586.rpm''
-
-
-Then decompress alsa drivers:
-
-
-''bzip2 -d alsa-driver-.9.0beta10.tar.bz2 && tar -xvf
-alsa-driver-.9.0beta10.tar''
-
-
-Make them and install them and create the devices files:
-
-
-''cd alsa-driver-.9.0beta10 && make install && ./snddevices''
-
-
-Edit /etc/modules.conf to set everything, and add to it the following
-lines:
-
-
-
-
-
-alias char-major-116 snd
-alias char-major-14 soundcore
-alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-
-alias sound-service--0 snd-mixer-oss
-alias sound-service--1 snd-seq-oss
-alias sound-service--3 snd-pcm-oss
-alias sound-service--8 snd-seq-oss
-alias sound-service--12 snd-pcm-oss
-alias snd-card-0 snd-card-intel8x0
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-!!2.3 Kernel Approach: The AC'97 Driver
-
-
-
-
-If you are using a 2.4 or later kernel you can use the
-Audio Codec '97 (AC'97) sound driver, as the integrated sound card is AC'97 complaint.
-
-
-You may enable your soundcard with a kernel module, as a matter of fact,
-you should be able to just use the module without even recompiling
-your kernel, because most GNU/Linux distributions have it already,
-just type:
-
-
-''modprobe i810_audio''
-
-
-and you should see something like this in your syslog:
-
-
-
-
-
-Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version .21, 21:31:04 Apr 15 2002
-i810: SiS 7012 found at IO 0xd800 and 0xdc00, IRQ 11
-i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 2 channels.
-ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x414c:0x4710 (ALC200/200P)
-i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 supports AMAP, total channels = 2
-
-
-
-
-or type
-
-
-''dmesg | less'' and scroll to see the kernel messages.
-
-
-If everything went fine, you may add i810_audio to
-/etc/modules so it will autoload everytime you boot:
-
-
-''echo "i810_audio" >> /etc/modules''
-
-
-
-
-
-or you like monolitic kernels (no modules), follow the step above to install
-the kernel sources
-and say Y to Sound card support and Y to Intel ICH (i8xx) audio
-support
-compile your kernel, install, reboot and now your integrated soundcard is
-working.
-
-
-If you don't know how to compile a kernel, read the
-Kernel HOWTO,
-it's easy and you'll get a optimized kernel for you system, also you'll learn a
-bit about that talk of using the source code (yes you are already taking
-advantage of it :-)
-
-
-
-----
-
-!!3. The mainboard's sensors
-
-
-
-
-!!3.1 Getting the drivers
-
-
-
-
-Get the lm_sensors 2.6.2 or more recent:
-http://www.lm-sensors.nu/archive/lm_sensors-2.6.2.tar.gz
-You'll need kernel sources too in order to compile that one.
-
-!!3.2 Installing them
-
-
-
-
-''tar -xzvf i2c-2.6.2.tar.gz''
-
-
-''cd i2c-2.6.2''
-
-
-''make && make install''
-
-
-Then there was a problem when making install for me, so if it doesn't work, just
-do the following:
-
-
-''cp kernel/i2c-core.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/i2c-core.o''
-
-
-''cp kernel/i2c-proc.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/i2c-proc.o''
-
-
-Now let's copy the specific driver:
-
-
-''cp kernel/chips/it87.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/it87.o''
-
-
-ok now
-
-
-''cp prog/sensors/sensors /usr/bin/sensors''
-
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
-
-
-Edit /etc/modules.conf and add to it the following lines:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
-options it87 temp_type=0x31
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-now:
-
-
-''modprobe i2c-proc''
-
-
-''modprobe it87''
-
-
-''modprobe i2c-isa''
-
-
-''sensors''
-
-
-should output you some data
-
-
-When it works, you can write it to a file, that will be loaded automatically on
-boot. Under
-SuSE the file is:
-/etc/init.d/boot.local (used to be /sbin/init.d/)
-and you should just add: sensors -s
-Under mandrake, the install should have created that file:
-/etc/init.d/sensors, which you can edit freely, sensord being just a
-daemon to watch over temperature and fan speed, I assume no one
-will need something like that for her/his own machine.
-
-
-Now as root you should edit your /etc/sensors.conf
-search for that line: chip "it87-*"
-and below you should be able to modify everything to get the right data, here is
-a copy of what i have in there:
-(please note that temp1 is trash and only temp2 and temp3 should be kept)
-
-

-# For this family of chips the negative voltage equation is different from
-# the lm78. The chip uses two external resistor for scaling but one is
-# tied to a positive reference voltage. See ITE8705/12 datasheet (SIS950
-# data sheet is wrong)
-# Vs = (1 + Rin/Rf) * Vin - (Rin/Rf) * Vref.
-# Vref = 4.096 volts, Vin is voltage measured, Vs is actual voltage.
-compute in2 (1 + 1)*@ , @/(1 + 1)
-compute in3 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1)
-compute in4 ((30/10) +1)*@ , @/((30/10) +1)
-# The next two are negative voltages (-12 and -5).
-# The following formulas must be used. Unfortunately the datasheet
-# does not give recommendations for Rin, Rf, but we can back into
-# them based on a nominal +2V input to the chip, together with a 4.096V Vref.
-# Formula:
-# actual V = (Vmeasured * (1 + Rin/Rf)) - (Vref * (Rin/Rf))
-# For -12V input use Rin/Rf = 6.68
-# For -5V input use Rin/Rf = 3.33
-# Then you can convert the forumula to a standard form like:
-compute in5 (7.67 * @) - 27.36 , (@ + 27.36) / 7.67
-compute in6 (4.33 * @) - 13.64 , (@ + 13.64) / 4.33
-compute in7 ((6.8/10)+1)*@ , @/((6.8/10)+1)

-label temp3 "Processor"
-set temp3_over 40
-set temp3_hyst 20
-label temp2 "Mainboard"
-set temp2_over 45
-set temp2_hyst 25
-ignore temp1
-# Fans
-label fan1"Processor's Fan"
-set fan1_min 2000
-ignore fan3
-ignore fan2

-!!4. The mainboard's LAN adapter
-
-!!4.1 Making it work...
-
-
-
-If your board came with the optional on-board LAN card, you have a Silicon
-Integrated Systems
[[SiS
] SiS900 10/100 Fast Ethernet card, this card is
-supported by Linux kernels 2.4 and later (that I know of, as I only use 2.4
-kernels).
-
-
-
-
-
-To make it work you should type
-
-
-''modprobe sis900''
-
-
-and you should see something like this in your syslog:
-
-
-
-
-
-sis900.c: v1.08.02 11/30/2001
-eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd400, IRQ 5, 00:d0:09:ea:7a:98.
-
-
-
-
-or type
-
-
-''dmesg | less'' and scroll to see the kernel messages.
-
-
-If everything went fine, you may add sis900.o to /etc/modules
-so it will autoload everytime you boot:
-
-
-''echo "sis900" >> /etc/modules''
-
-
-or compile it in your kernel, where you should say Y to SiS 900/7016 PCI
-Fast Ethernet Adapter support in your kernel
-configuration.

-
-!!5.2 Some words
-
-
-
-Using a modified BIOS, I was able to successfully overclock my Athlon 1000Mhz
-to 1050Mhz flawlessy, but
-when I messed with hdparm (30Gig Western Digital hard drive) using ''hdparm
--c1 -X66 /dev/hda'', I managed
-to corrupt my filesystem, so beware.
-
-
-
-
-
-If you are a real tweaker, you might want to change your BIOS Logo and stuff,
-some people tried that and it worked OK, some others
-not, so they had to flash their BIOS again (blindly with a bootdisk and a
-working bios in it) to make the board work again. It is really up
-to you. Search Google or OC Workbench and you'll be on your way
.
-
-
-
-
-
-Good Luck! :-)
