Hello,

I installed Gentoo a few weeks ago with alsa5. Now I want to update it and I emerge alsa and got this message at the end:

* IMPORTANT: 1 config files in /etc need updating.

I typed find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*' and found the file /etc/modules.d/._cfg0000_alsa.

What am I supposed to do with this file? I think I'm still using alsa5 because when I type mplayer -ao help it still showing alsa5....

Thanks.

The first thing I usually do is see what the differences are between the new config and the old one.

in the modules.d directory type:
Code:
diff alsa ._cfg0000_alsa


If there are no differences between the files then you don't have to do anything. Just delete the cfg file.

You can also emerge gentoolkit and run etc-update which is a script that does that very thing for you.
