high memory versus alsa drivers

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  The agpgart modules is used so programs can access the video card
on the AGP bus.  I haven't seen the alsa modules get automatically
compiled before, so that must be something specific to Slackware.  Like
I said, my idea probably wasn't helpful but I had to ask just in case.
I have another idea which probably won't be helpful either.  In the past
with my older sound cards and earlier Alsa, I remember an option to tell
the driver to reserve DMA in low memory.  Don't know what card you have
or if the option has changed, but it might be something to look for in
the docs for the alsa drivers.

Good luck figuring it out.
