Deja Vue, all over again! I swear we are working on the same machine. So, last night I reinstalled again. It clearned up eveything except the shimmering on my desktop. So, since I needed to get my wheel mouse running, I followed the wheeel mouse install proceedure found on the SuSE support site. In the process I reinstalled my Xserver and downgraded the size to 1240X780. The shimmer went away, eveything is a LOT more crispy, and when I drap the corner of an xterm it doesn't blow me out of KDE back to the console. The CD player and SB PCI512 work nicely to give faboulous sound. An 18 watt woofer really makes the last base thump at the end of the 'Windows Open" music a real chest thumper. So, the Beast is healhy again! Now, all I have to do is get the Beast and the Sony to talk together. They can ping each other but I still can browse the Internet via the Sony and the ADSL. I'm looking int IP Masqs. JLK On Friday 16 March 2001 13:19, you wrote:

I ran into almost exactly the same problem last night. But I thought it was all because of something stupid I did. Here's what happened: When trying to build a kernel I ran into all kinds of problems - I ended up not being able to boot the machine ( I won't go into that now). So I got mad and reinstalled 7.1. When I first installed I had sound. Then I upgraded to KDE 2.1 and for some reason all sound was lost. Using Yast2 I attempted to reconfigure the soundcard - removed it and added it back in. At this point, the "test" button would produce no sound. So last night I reinstalled again and Yast2 correctly configured the card & I got sound back. Now, I had been trying to get my joystick to work w/ my Soundblaster Live card. I noticed last night in the "configuration" manual that I needed to initialize the gameport using the emu10k1 joystick module. I mistakenly thought that I needed to install a package called emu10k1-joy. There is no such package I found out later. Anyway, I was in Yast1 upgrading to KDE 2.1 & I looked for this package in the snd series. All I found was the emu10k1 package which was shown as NOT being installed. I thought that this was odd since Yast2 said it was using the emu10k1 driver. So I thought I would go ahead and install it & then try to get the joystick going. Stupid, stupid, stupid..... It broke everything. Here's where I had the same problem you ran into: When I rebooted I got all kinds of modprobe errors on sound stuff, and I also got the usbmgr service failure. Also, X would not start at all, and sax2 kept failing (would not start). I finally managed to get sax2 to work and got X started. Of course I had no sound. I tried to use Yast2 to configure the card, but it would not - kept giving me an error about loading the emu10k1 driver. So I then went into Yast1 and removed the emu10k1 package I had installed. Yast2 would then configure the card, but once again, NO SOUND when using even the "test" button!!! No matter what I do, I cannot get sound back now. Unless someone has a fix, I guess I'll be reinstalling again..........:( Mike ------------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike@emc.com x6033 ------------------------------------------------------- We are born naked, wet, and hungry.

I had it running beautifully Tues night. Spent the last hour Tuesday listing to some of my music CD's through that faboulous SB sound system. I powered down Tues night because I wanted to plug in some cables and add a hub to help connect this machine (the Sony) to the Beast. This evening (Thur) I hooked up the cable (Just plugged it into the eth0 card) and the EN104 hub and turned everything on. Durning the boot process I noticed that I got an ATPI CDROM error but my PlexStor CD-RW seems to be identified and working ok. Kscd makes the CD go round even if sound doesn't come out. Also I was getting a modprobe error on the sound stuff, ... then a usbmgr service failed (I don't use usb and didn't activate it. SuSE must have.) and a msg flew by saying it couldn't configure the eth0 card. I logged on as root and fired YaST2 in the console. Then I reconfigured the sound. It wouldn't offer me the actual card (SB PCI512), just SB16, SB 1.2 + Pro, and SB AWE, none of which make my sound card work. But, if I run YaST2 in KDE2 the correct sound card identity is auto-matically chosen. Why is that SuSE? The bad news is that even though it finds the card, no sound come out during the test. And, I can't fire the sound mixer because the sound card hasn't been installed yet. I rebooted the machine and am running the memtest. It may be time to call my vendor. JLK
