My problem is already solved, i can use the new SuSE patched kernel with the OSS :-) http://www.opensound.com/linux-x86.html#suse I didn't said that i prefer a vanilla kernel instead of the SuSE patched kernel ... My problem was just that i want to get my sound working As i'm a 'normal' user and no developer i couldn't say what really happened with this kernel-headers or whatever ... I'm just surprised that there isn't a normal relation between SuSE and 4Front for discussing such things internally and i was really a bit shocked that the OSS president posted his problems in that way :-( Thanks for all your replies best regards Franz --- eshsfschrieb: > >- You can use the 2.6.7 vanilla kernel with SUSE, > nobody forces you to > > use the SUSE patched kernel. > > Is it the problem of nVidia that vannila > kaernel(2.6.7) failed to start up X ? > startx command aborted in vannila kaernel. > append a log at that time. > > But SUSE's Kernel no problem. > > > On Fri, 18 Jun 2004 15:12:40 +0200 > Andreas Jaeger wrote: > > > > > Come on, let's get some facts together - and yes, > I'm working for > > SUSE;-) I know that you work for SuSE and there's no problem with that - i'm using SuSE since 5.1 and i love it - i'm just searching for solutions for (my) problems ;-) Thanks for your information, i sent your info about the kernel to D.
