Problem with i810 driver and AC 97 codec combo

[Kojiro Dracomour]

Ok, I did a little research before posting this.

Often I will get a message when trying to play sound
of some kind that "Cannot open /dev/dsp: Device or
Resource is busy". I'm using aRts. When I boot up,
before anything else happens, no applications loaded,
my soundcard is already occupied and I get this
message. IF I am in KDE, and only KDE so far to my
knowledge as I haven't really tested elsewhere, if I
type in the command prompt "killall artsd", switch
XMMS to OSS Driver, it works. However if I disable
aRts on KDE boot, that trick doesn't work, in fact no
sound works. Same with WMaker. I haven't tried to see
if sound will work on init 3 yet.

Anyway, my research shows that this "bug", as it was
put, was in the kernell for RedHat 7.3 but fixed for
RedHat 8.0.
