Hey Group; I know that acpi has been a pain. However, I have a friend with a SuSE9.0 Toshiba LapTop which requires acpi to make the sound modules work. A check of "lsmod" confirms that the sound module will only work if acpi is available. He has 3Ddiag showing that 3D is working whith a Nvidia driver. Problem is that serveral games with sound enable will lock up the Xserver and KDE. Games like Frozen-Bubble fail to connect to the sound driver. Calling up kmix also showed no volume controls. Sound is working and can be proven with KDE boot sound. Anyone have a suggestion? -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316
