Hello all,

	I've just recently tried to compile in support for my GUS soundcard,
and have run into a few problems.

	Firstly, there is no documentation on what or how the variables 
should be set up in the kernel config file. I had to refer to the FreeBSD 1.1
documentation.

	On boot up, the system recognizes my soundcard ( identifies it as having
1024k ram and the right irq etc.. ) yet I am unable to get it working except
outputting a strange oscillating sound. I guess this would mean that the 
MAKEDEV script in /dev configures it for a different card.

	Lastly, my mouse stops working when I start X11 ( xdm -nodaemon ), and
as soon as I reboot with my old kernel ( without sound support ) the mouse
works again.

	I also have a SoundBlaster 16 which I would like to get working 
alongside the GUS ( for the digital recording only - I prefere the GUS' midi! )
if anyone has any ideas on how to go about this ( I know it is possible to run
2 soundcards ) I would really appreaciate any help.

	Before I forget - I'm running FreeBSD 2.0R on a 486dx33 with 20 meg 
RAM, an aha1542cf, a SB16, GUS, Tseng Labs ET4000wp32.

Thanks in advance,
Raoul Endres.
