If so, that may be a future possibility for me with gentoo since the sound card certainly can't be configured correctly with make menuconfig on this end. Menuconfig could benefit by use of hardware testing tools to test existing hardware interactively then select the correct kernel configuration based on such discoveries. Maybe genkernel would be a better candidate for such interactive software detection, that I don't know since genkernel isn't how any accessibility gets built into kernels on gentoo if my information is correct. To get anything working at all beyond chroot environment I will try installing a pre-built kernel and see what if any accessibility is possible down that path. -- United States has 633 Billionaires with only 10 doing any annual significant giving.
