Ok, so I have taken a short break from my Linux issues as work has kept be busy with Windoze stuff... but I have good news, I have working headphone jack sensing.

Apparrently the newest alsa...

quick, break out the Steganography toolkit! :D

Boy isn't that the truth. Takes all of the fun out of computing. :P

Well good luck to you man, I applaud your effort. I did something similar, I went to school to get the AS and the MCSE, so I could get past the resume and into the interviews.

Now I know that I...

My bad. I was thinking I just hadn't found anything, but that I was lookin in the wrong spot. I agree with prez though, after making the post I set about searching for any useful ExpressCards and I...

So what if your notebook doesn't have PCMCIA and instead is equipped with the newer 'express card' slot? this is the case with my tx1120us from HP. I have a broadcom internal, and I also have my...

Yeah I figured that was pretty much a given, but hey... if you watch the TV ever I guess that says it all doesn't it. ;)

I have BT installed on my notebook as a dual-boot, but I also am running a vmware copy ontop of my vista installation.

Some things i have noticed from my personal experience would be....

I hadn't even cared much about this but thanks to you parrot I played with it for a good 20 minutes. :P Seems to work as described.

Right but if there's spyware on your Windoze box that is trapping keystrokes and addresses and such, then most likely it will circumvent your encryption by sending it's data before the encryption...

nice tutorial, too bad I didn't hit the forums for it until AFTER I did this project this afternooon. heh. Needed the tips for vmtool though, so thanks. :)

Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. I've always been a problem solver. i would rather learn to tie my own shoes than have someone do it for me so to speak. ;)

So here's some info on my...

I have what might be a related or even the same issue. I have a tx1120us notebook from HP. The broadcom 1390 card loads on boot, and everything appears to work fine... until you really look at it.

Ok Parrot my friend, I now have sound in Backtrack 2. After recording the various version numbers of the alsa package on the working FC7 machine, I downloaded the EXACT package from the alsa ftp.
...

Well I have gone to an extreme but am close to a solution. I used my happy Windows tool to clone my BT2 partition and then blasted it out and installed FC7. It took some brute forcing to get it to...

I love Backtrack 2 and my only wants for BT3 would be better support for my sound (Still no audio on my tx1120us notebook from HP), maybe a better touchscreen calibration method. Most of the other...

Ok, after poking around some more, I have not accomplished much of anything, except learning a few new switches for some commands which are becoming more familiar as I work through this (that's the...

A USB headset is not apt to solve the issue if my audio device isn't outputting sound though, which is an issue.

Ok I am not sure but i think I might be making some sort of progress with my Realtek soundcard issue.

I installed the driver last night from the realtek site and made a change I found in another...

When I execute the following code as per the guide...


cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config

I am told it cannot find that file. This will screw me right because instead of loading my current...

I have a Broadcom wifi card and it seems to work but I am suspect. It shows up in KWiFi manager and says it detects signals when I


iwlist eth1 scan

But when I try to connect to any of the...

Windows Key enterprise will do the same thing (also not free, but effective).

I have tried numerous 'fixes' to get my realtek HD audio working, which also uses the 'snd-hda-intel' module. Perhaps upgrading my kernel would fix that little sucker, it's so hard to use my notebook...

I think your avatar rox! hehe.
