Cythrawl quit flaming people.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to get a piece of hardware to work with linux.

For those of you who don’t know there is a better driver out there than the one that Creative has released.

You can find that here.

I’ve found today a link to a 68KB file in Creative…
it states it is a :
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi and X-Fi Titanium Series Linux 32-bit / 64-bit Driver Source Release

http://support.creative.com/downloads/?h=7

And… in my Ubuntu 08.10, with OSS drivers … IT SIMPLY WORKS!
Nice holiday gift from creative, I’ll hide all the voodoo dolls I collected for them in the past

Cythrawl, you have a point, the card does state Windows only. Still, its a little late in the game to release Windows-only hardware. This isn’t 1995.

I’m considering selling the Dell and buying a Mac. It Just Works(TM).
