on the soundcard note, if you want to get sound working and not have to buy a commercial sound driver (such as OSS), I suggest the following: download the OSS evaluation package and install it invoke the configuration utility, if I remember correctly it will pprobe your card first and display the currently set values make a note of these values, and recompile your kernel accordingly while this may or may not work for everyone, I have never had this method fail for me (except one instance involving an un-happy PnP card ;)). I hope this will help some of you get sound working under linux, how else are you supposed to play mp3's and enjoy quake to its fullest ;P - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
