(1) Having read the SuSE manual, the sound how-to, etc., I installed OSS, found the sound card, and got it working after running the SoundOn command from the linux prompt (it's a MAD-type ISA card). However, I am booting the station via the graphical login into KDE. How do I initiate the OSS sound during the boot-up process? or do I need to incorporate modules into the kernel rather than use OSS?

Launch it from /sbin/init.d/boot.local. As root, edit that file. You'll see a section of comments about adding local programs before going to a runlevel. Put it there with its full path included (i.e., /usr/local/bin/soundon -- or wherever you installed it).

(2) I'm seeing a message about a module named major-char-( j? maybe? or something else) not being found. What is it, what is looking for it, and where is it found? Do I incorporate it through the module.dep file, module.cfg or what?

TIA

It is referenced in /etc/modules.conf -- but without more information from you it's difficult to say where. Find out what comes after char- in the message you're receiving. -------- REM moonr@mindspring.com ICQ uin 39952184 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
