The Linux Ultra Sound Project
-===============================-
What's it?
==========
This project is based on Jaroslav Kysela's new low-level driver
for the Gravis UltraSound card. Driver offers some unique features (support
for 8 cards, native GF1/CODEC/InterWave support, very useful mixer control,
full duplex PCM, MIDI UART support, MIDI emulation with GF1/InterWave chip
and many other things).
More details about driver is in file src/driver/README.
Applications:
=============
* GUSMIX ncurses mixer
* XGUSMIX X-Window mixer (Tcl/Tk)
* MUSSERVER patched music server for DOOM
* ULTRAMOD module player based on MikMod routines
* ULTRAMIDI native midi player
* ULTRAPLAY/REC program for playing/recording .WAV, .VOC files
Binary distribution:
====================
It was removed due to non-stable source code of 2.0.X kernels..
Quick install:
==============
Type 'configure' and 'make'.
... and after compilation and installation ...
1) run 'gusdevs' - this command creates devices for new driver
2) check /usr/local/etc/gus.conf configuration file
3) run 'insgus' - this command insert gus driver module to the kernel
4) check /usr/local/etc/gus-midi.conf configuration file
5) check /usr/local/etc/gus-midi-gf1.conf and
/usr/local/etc/gus-midi-gf1.defs configuration file
- if path for GF1 patches is incorrect - insert correct path
Problems? Read FAQ text file...
Wrong path? Read PATH text file...
Problems with some application? Read apps-setup/APPS text file...
Please, look to SPONSORS text file, too...
Quick uninstall:
================
Type 'make uninstall'...
Original AMD FFFF files:
========================
The driver support FFFF files for both type of GUS cards (with
old GF1 chip and the new InterWave chip), but original AMD's files named
gmfull1m.XXX and gsfull4m.XXX are licensed by creator (EYE & I Productions)
only for InterWave cards, not for old GUS Classic, GUS MAX, GUS ACE
cards :-((( Please, don't distribute these files over InterNet or other
media which doesn't come from Advanced Gravis Technologies!!! Owners of
first GUS PnP boards can contact Gravis for new software CD with
gsfull4m.XXX file in installation package.
Hard bug in the driver?:
========================
Look to ~/src/driver/TRACE.BUG for more details.
