My Dell laptop isn't my only computer and I've been too busy with other things to go back and work on this. I started looking into loading Ubuntu 6.06 on it, but got stuck about halfway (since I don't have enough RAM to boot it into the LiveCD). Sorry, no.

I found it by searching for ".2debian-alsa". The file is actually already installed in Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS - I reinstalled it anyway. I must say that it was quite a relief when I learned that this was going to work as well as it does - this is fantastic and will allow multimedia use of the GX1 with Ubuntu. Thank you very much for this brilliant information! Your instructions worked flawlessly on my ancient desktop:

- Dell OptiPlex GX1 400MHz / 640MB RAM
- On-board Crystal Soundcard cs4236
- Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) for x86
- Kernel 2.6.15-27-386
