*************************
** Driver Installation **
*************************
Please follow the instructions listed below to install the driver :
A) Login as a super user.
B) Change directory according to the Linux version, e.g..
# mcd a:/linux/redhat
for RedHat
C) Copy compressed file according to the Linux version to a certain
directory, e.g..
# mkdir ./viaudio
# mcopy a:68audio.rht72.gz ./viaudio
for RedHat 7.2
D) Uncompress the compressed file by using tar command, e.g.
# tar xzvf 68audio.rht72.gz
for RedHat 7.2 and
E) Change directory to the relative directory to do the installation.
# ./vinstall
or
# sh vinstall
For RedHat 7.2, this program will copy some files, e.g.
/lib/modules/2.4.7-10/sound/viaudio.o
and backup the original files as the following :
/etc/modules.conf to /etc/modules.conf.old
or
/etc/modules.conf to /etc/old.modules.conf
After the installation, the VIA Audio Linux driver should be
loaded on the RedHat 7.2.
* Please turn on the USB Host Controller and USB 2 Host Controller in
the BIOS setting first. Otherwise, the Audio function will not detect
by LINUX 2.2.5 kernel. It is the LINUX 2.2.5 kernels' bug.
***************************
** Driver Uninstallation **
***************************
Please follow the instructions listed below to uninstall the driver :
A) Login as a super user.
B) Change directory to the relative directory to do the uninstallation
by typing :
# ./vunstall
or
# sh vunstall
After the uninstallation, the the VIA PCI Audio driver will be removed
from the system.
