Description Takashi Iwai 2007-07-09 15:49:54 UTC 
We don't support /etc/sysconfig/hardware/* files any more.  Thus yast2-sound also should stop creating such a file.

It's still no problem to modify /etc/modprobe.d/sound as well as before.  We just need to drop /etc/sysconfig/hardware/* stuff.
Comment 1 Ladislav Slezák 2007-07-24 14:44:49 UTC 
Just to be sure: not writing (reading) sysconfig files is the only change from the yast side? I suppose that starting/stopping via rcalsasound still works in the same way... right?
Comment 2 Takashi Iwai 2007-07-24 14:57:43 UTC 
"rcalsasound restart" works basically.  But, you don't need it unless the index is assigned differently from the order in which the devices are actually loaded.

The option and alias setting in /etc/modprobe.d/sound are still OK as they were.  But, the drivers should work even without any module options in normal cases.  The aliases are needed only for "rcalsasound restart".

Any news?
Comment 4 Ladislav Slezák 2007-08-07 14:39:24 UTC 
Not yet, I'm overloaded with libzypp/yast bugs...

I quickly created a patch but it didn't work correctly, some work is still needed.

Fixed in yast2-sound-2.15.1, hwcfg file are not read/written anymore.
