XFree86-4.2.0
by Tony Jones 06 Mar '02

Does anyone have any idea on when SuSE will, if ever, put XFree86-4.2.0 on their online update? Also, I use online update on a 56k and it seems to take upwards of 30 minutes to download the patch definitions. any ideas on how to speed that up? I use SuSE 7.3, 333mhz, GeForce MX 400 64MB, 352MB RAM. Tony Jones

Help with ALSA
by Peter Cheney 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Greetings all, Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or show me what to do to get sound to work using the ALSA driver? I play CD or MP3 via XMMS and no output. Searched for "sound' on sus.com and found article titled "Installing a soundsystems from scratch" and followed this with no problems. Sound on my workstation works OK with W2k and RHL7.3 but I have decided on SuSE 7.3pro due to more multi-media options. Harware detection of sound card (Intel 820) during install was OK. Here is last part of modules.conf: -- options snd-card-intel8x0 snd_index=0 alias char-major-14 off # Alsa sound support. # Warning: please don't modify comments over aliases 'snd-card-#' alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_cards_limit=1 snd_major=116 # W60f.Kwq_E7BMZmF:82820 820 (Camino 2) Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-card-intel8x0 # YaST2: sound system dependent part # alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-11 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss -- I can delete/add the card in YaST2 and no errros. When configure sound in KDE Config, changing from "Auto Detect" to ALSA and stop/start the sound daemon I get a thump in the speakers. All help and comments would be greatly appreciated.

HELP! I've destoyed sound capabilities
by Saimon Moore 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hi, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to sound in linux. I have Suse 7.1 running and for a long time the sound was fine (It had been correctly configured during installation. But one day I decided to install a divX player which need updated SDL libraries. I promptly downloaded and type rpm -i SDL....rpm (i.e. newbie pressed the wrong button ;) Big mistake..I should have updated it.. (now I know ;) Ever since then, the sound on my system has completely dissapeared and I'm at a complete loss. I've looked at the sound howto but from what it says I'm missing the the sound module in the kernel, but if it had been working prior to my 'mistake' the the sound module should be there. This is the boot message... Starting sound driver: snd-card-ens1371 done Starting sound driver: off done Starting sound driver: off done but cat /dev/sndstat (As per the howto) returns.... cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device I really have no clue what to do and I don't want to re-install Suse because I have lot's of things setup that might be lost. I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could suggest what I might do to find the cause of my problem and how I might go about fixing it. The howto doesn't seem to cover this.
