At the moment, I don't even have the vxloader installed (I am converting
to more recent kernel and (hopefully) more recent alsa.
But the message was something like "No vx-compatible cards found".

I wouldn't be surprised if that message also was from me. I have had a
couple of tries at this card on this laptop before, with no luck.

As I mentioned somewhere, I got a response from one running 1.0.3...

I have a spare partition I could install something old on, if time
permits. (I think I have RedHat 4.2 in the basement somewhere ;-)
I have just installed Fedora Core 5 on this partition, but I have some
testing left to do, to see whether that distribution fixes my card.
