Is it normal for the CPU to be running @ 100% anytime I run any programs
that are 3D based? I've seen this on my system running OpenGL plugins
for XMMS and when running TuxKart and Parsec. The programs themselves
seem to be running just fine and seem to be using the 3D capabilities of
my card. Any comments/insights are appreciated. Thanks.
Running SuSE 7.3 Pro, AMD T-bird 1GHz, 3Dfx Voodoo3 2000 AGP with Xfree
4.2.0.

my last post for the day, sorry. In the mean time you might want to seriously
consider upgrading from ALSA v0.5.11 to alsa .9xxx
see http://alsa-project.org/
What distro are you running?

Hello to everyone,
I have a 3Dfx Interactive Voodoo, but I have some problems when I try to run
3D applications (for example gears) as normal user. The installation has set
the script_3d variable to switch2mesasoft. I run the script switch2mesa3dfx,
but when I try to execute a 3D application( gears) I get a "segmentation
fault" as normal user. As root things are better and at least the gears app
or the OpenGL spectrum analyser of xmms work fine.
(I use XFree86 version 3 to support my Diamond Stealth S3Trio 64 card and the
packages mesa3dfx and glide_vg are installed)
I read the documentation about mesa3dfx and it says that I have to run any 3D
application as root, or set uid on such apps!!
How can I fix the 3Dfx to work as normal user?
By the way, in the Kcontrol module "Available Hardware" it show a check mark
near my S3 card and a "tools" mark near my 3Dfx (and near some other hardware
that work fine, that is my monitor, the floppy disk controller etc). What
does this "tools" icon mean? That the relevant hardware is not yet
configured?
Thanks!

Hello, I have SuSe 8.0 Professional installed.
My sound system is working fine. I'm getting sound when I play mpegs or wavs.
When I use the YaST configuration tool, I'm able to get sound.
However, when I try to play a music cd, all of the players see the tracks and
"play" the tracks, but there is no sound.
I can use the DVD-CD rom as a data source.
My hardware configuration for DVD-CDROM according to YaST is as follows:
_NEC DV-5800A
Bus: IDE
CD type: dvd
Class (spec): CD-ROM
Class: Mass Storage Device
Device: _NEC DV-5800A
Device name: /dev/hdc
Prog. interface: 3
Rev: 1.0A
driver: ide-cdrom
My hardware configuration for the CD-RW according to YaST is as follows:
LITE-ON LTR-24102M:
Bus: SCSI
CD type: cdrw
Class(spec): CD-ROM
Class: Mass Storage Device
Device: LITE-ON LTR-24102M
Device name: /dev/sr0
Prog. interface: 2
Rev: 4DS3
Vendor: LITE-ON
driver: ide-scsi
When I change the cd player to use the CD-RW device, it doesn't play either.
Any help is appreciated.

Short for Pulse Code Modulation, a sampling technique for digitizing analog
signals, especially audio signals. PCM samples the signal 8000 times a
second; each sample is represented by 8 bits for a total of 64 Kbps. There
are two standards for coding the sample level. The Mu-Law standard is used in
North America and Japan while the A-Law standard is use in most other
countries.
PCM is used with T-1 and T-3 carrier systems. These carrier systems combine
the PCM signals from many lines and transmit them over a single cable or
other medium.
What are you recording from? CD? Microphone? Line-in?
Try different recording inputs and see if there is a difference.
Gain or volume setting of your outboard gear can effect what is sent to your
computer and in turn, what your computer records.

Is distortion coming only from what you record? Try downloading a sound file
or default wave etc. on your computer. Is it distorted?
Or is it only what you record?

I am using Canon BJC-2000, Epson Stilyplus (color) 880
with SuSE 8. They are working properly with black ink.
But they can not printing with color, so they printing
always with black color.
How can I print with color ink ?
Thank you very much in advance.

I am having sound problems. I get heavy distortion part of the time.
It may relate to:

Try -trust to force esd to start.

I'm trying to install a new plextor cd burner (Plexwriter 16/10/40A CD-RW) on
my SuSE 8.0 system. I've followed the instructions in the support database
but haven't had success. The instructions - briefly outlined - are:
Switch off IDE support by changing the LILO configuration - add
hda=ide-scsi to the append option of the boot loader (hda is the correct drive
for my cd)
Load the scsi emulation by adding this line:
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
to the /etc/init.d/boot.local file.
Correct settings for all IDE CD drives:
ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrecorder
I've also tried:
ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrecorder
per suggestion from suse support
Add this line to fstab:
/dev/cdrecord /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
mkdir /media/cdrecorder
Reboot and the thing should work but when I run
cdrecord -scanbus
this is all I get:
Cdrecord 1.11a13 (i686-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.22
Using libscg version 'schily-0.5'

which lists my real scsi drive (just the iomega) that are on my scsi adapter -
nothing about the ide cd-rw.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I've just recently updated to Suse 8.0 Clean Install
alsa-0.9.0_cvs20020320-12. SBLive and RME9652
So far everything I've tried to record, I think, is being recorded faster than
being stated (16 bits 44100) or at least it is playing back at an accelerated
speed or differnt rate. Not "chipmunk" like but "Hey! Ease up on the coffee"
like.
Old recording and downloaded waves are played fine so I believe this to be a
recording issue. Ever heard/seen the likes before? Any ideas why? Or how
to adjust it. Audacity seems to work greater than great (never really had it
working prior to this) and I'm really liking it.
but when all you want is a quick audio reminder or such arecord is nice.
Thanks

I saw an article in LinuxFocus of April/MAY which is describing a solution to
use this digital camera under Linux.
Has or can SuSE bring out a patch or updated package for this camera for
gphoto for SuSE 8.0 ?
Many people use this camera now.
