1) add the following lines to "/sbin/init.d/boot.local" :

modprobe emu10k1 insmod emu10k1-joy io=0x200 insmod joystick insmod joy-sidewinder (for a MS sidewinder joystick/pad, for example)

I was playing around with my own Live! the other day ... Never had enabled the joystick, and I suddenly decided to, so I looked back at this... Anyway, just gotta correct, instead of what was above, I had to do this: modprobe emu10k1 joystick=0x200 insmod joy-sidewinder I couldn't find anything about the 'emu10k1-joy' you were talking about. We may just be talking about different versions of emu10k1, but whatever the case, just relating my experiences.

2) edit "/etc/modules.conf" find "alias char-major-15 anything" replace with "alias char-major-15 off"

devices are "special files" under un*x, with both major and minor numbers and NO size :o). device main types are block (hard disks, floppy, cdrom,...) and character (terminals, serial ports, scsi cards, pci cards,modules,...) ones. block devices use kernel buffers and character ones don't, but any block device is linked with a character one, which is faster for common use. writing an alias in /etc/modules.conf identifies a file with given major/minor numbers to a device (e.g. "alias char-major-14 emu10k1" will load the emu10k1 module using character device with major 14, i.e. /dev/dsp, default sound device)

quite short and frustrating explain, but you may find hundreds of pages about the filesystem hierarchy standards ;)

hope this helps, Gwendal

I have the same log messages with my system. In addition, applications do not cause the module to get loaded automatically. Instead, I have to use modprobe evertime I want the emu10k1 module to be loaded. I have an alias in modules.conf. Rob.

I finally got SBLive to work on my Linux box. It seems to work fine and I can play CDs and other sound files. One thing, however, keeps bugging me. On login, the log console com;ains that sound card is out of range (0-0). I wonder if I have made some mistake in setting up?

While at it, I may as well ask another question. I get a message at login saying modprobe cannot find char-major-15 ?

I am a complete novice at Linux. Can someone explain these messages to me ? thanks
