### Trying to Debianize a RealTek driver

by golinux » Fri Oct 03, 2014 10:50 pm

Still dealing with the aftermath of The Wrath of Thor. Sound on new board - RealTek ALC892 - is inconsistent. Works with some apps but not others. I downloaded the latest drivers from the RealTek site and am trying to install them using Soul Singin's excellent tut. I have done this before but not often. Mostly I'm flying pretty blind and am a lousy typist to boot. Anyway, I got to dh_make and was asked this question:

Code: Select all
  `Type of package: single binary, indep binary, multiple binary, library, kernel module, kernel patch?`

Have no idea how to answer that. I want to be able to get rid of it easily if it makes things worse and having it as a deb would be best. But perhaps I should just do a checkinstall? This thread on the Mint forum has some ideas but don't know if they'll work on wheezy.
My head hurts . . .
May the FORK be with you!

NM. Steve Pusser helped me get it sorted over at FDN. He's a frickin' multimedia genius!
