Hello, i hope you don't matter if i post my next sound-related question here: Every time i start KDE it tries to load an ALSA sound driver even if there's already running an other driver (in my case OSS, i described in other mails here why i can't use ALSA ...) there allways appears a error message related to this in ttyS10 . I configured KDE in the controll center to use OSS and it works but how could i remove this ALSA dependencies or whatever tries to load ALSA completely ? I already removed all sound- configurations with YaST and disabled the ALSA modules before i installed OSS, so i don't understand why there are allways attempts to load it. I don't know if this problem is related to my esound problem i posted here, maybe ? best regards Franz SuSE 9.1 (amd64) Mit schönen Grüßen von Yahoo! Mail - http://mail.yahoo.de
