In trying to track down why I cannot get sound to play with kdetv under SuSE 9.1 I was checking the data in /etc/modules.conf on 8.2 and noticed that /etc/modules.conf in 9.1 is empty and there is another file which appears to replace it (modprob.conf). Instead of using "on" and "off" as in modules.conf, modprob.conf appears to use /bin/true. Example: modules.conf: alias block-major-48 off modprobe.conf: alias block-major-49 /bin/true and later: modules.conf: alias char-major-116 snd modprobe.conf: install char-major-116 /bin/true char-major-116 are the /dev/audio files. Right above the "install char-major-116 /bin/true" there is this line: "#remove this if sound is configured" I wonder if the line for char-major-116 is causing the problem? I am getting sound from the system (frozen-bubble works) and I can cat a au file to /dev/audio and it works (cat chime.au >/dev/audio). I just cannot get kdetv to run with sound. Can anyone tell me how the new modprob.conf functions? I would think that /bin/true would be similar to "on". -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Mon 05/31/04 13:55 1:55pm up 17:04, 5 users, load average: 0.60, 0.36, 0.29
