Compiling drivers

Hey guys/girls

Im trying to figure out how to compile drivers for slitaz

downloaded these:

Realtek network card driver for linux: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Realtek audio driver for Linux: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

So now i just need to know how im suppose to compile this crapp

for the network driver (on Lubuntu) i just used #sudo ./install.sh and it built the driver and installed - guess its not that easy on slitaz?

and for the audio driver well i couldnt find a install.sh in that one

Ofc would love to get this driver working also:

AMD Graphics: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run

SO if anyone could help me try compile these i would be greatfull

Most important driver is the Audio driver from realtek

Sincerally

Hmm.. Why not use in-kernel drivers?

Well to be honest sound sounds crappy it uses intel based driver thats generic and well not working well on all systems

So when i get the audio driver working ok, my goal is to test Spotify to work

with slitaz

Re: Compiling drivers

Cooking:

#tazpkg -gi slitaz-toolchain

#tazpkg -gi linux-module-headers

#tazpkg -gi linux-source

#get-linux-source

Follow the directions in the info or readme file that is packaged with the source.

./install.sh worked for me with a realtek wifi driver.

The .run file is a self-extracting archive/installer

Make sure it is executable:

#chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run

Execute:

#./ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run

or

#sh ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run

Actually, you are wrong

Intel HD Audio (HDA) is just a standart, like AC97.

Kernel containes "patches" to support different sound chips (all based on HDA standart).

And sound quality depends on ALSA settings (mainly output frequency and resampling)

Martin - I dont want to discourage you, but there was only one good sound chip for laptops -

Vinyl-Envy24MT - and this chip,  brother  or sister of the Envy24HT, which is in M-Audio Revolution 5.1, 7.1 und Audiophile 192, ESI Juli@, was only built in  Acer TRAVELMATE 254LC-DT and one HP Laptop - as ffar as I know...

thats the reality about laptops and good sound

I use since I think 8 years now a Echo Indigo IO for shows and it was worth any penny.

If you search for a cheap good usb soundcard: BEHRINGER U-CONTROL UCA 202 with a Burr-Brown soundchip about 25€.
