I never got sound to work in any linux distro on this machine, so I am not terribly convinced I can get it to work with DSL.  Even Xubuntu, which is pretty good with detecting things never picked up the card.  I think it is an ESS SoundBlaster compatible ISA card,   Fujitsu lifebook 770TX, PII so I am pleased that DSL exists because it is the only OS that makes it usable at all.

I have the alsa package load at startup, my grub line has a reference to alsa as well.

I did a modprobe snd-(everything in the readme file that started with sb, and es, and nothing was recognized.

I think the last thing that had the sound working was a windows install 95 then 2000, but 2000 ran slow slow slow.  I think the card is fine physically, but other than that... not sure.  If I do an lspci, I get a reference to an ISA bridge, but no reference to sound.  I did an lspci -v, but I don't know how to scroll back in the DSL terminal:-(

Ideas anyone?

If you want to be able to see everything that gets output to the screen, you can do something like this:
Code Sample
$ script screen
$ lspci -v
$ <ctrl-d>
$ beaver screen

Scrolling back is done with <shift-pageUp>

Thank you for that 'script <file>', 'Ctrl-D" trick... what a great way to collect information!

Thanks... both of these can be of major use.  I usually use Kubuntu or Slax... but KDE is just too much for the little laptop that could... I think I can, I think I can... but DSL runs pretty smoothly.

Wishing for sound though:-)  If I have any success, I'll post back.
