[tlinux-users:08685] Re: Ubuntu Gutsy on Satellite P100

The problem isn't with the 2.6.22 kernel, it's actually with the
2.6.23kernel and the Ubuntu team has backported the change to
2.6.22.  A vanilla 2.6.22 kernel with a DSDT patch and the latest alsa
drivers works just fine whereas the 2.6.23 kernel or the Ubuntu
2.6.22kernel don't give sound regardless of alsa version.  I haven't
checked the
patches that were applied to the Ubuntu kernel but, when I get the chance
I'll see if I can figure out what the problematic patch is.
