This stuff is making me nuttier than is usually the case .. and as we
all know that can be a very dangerous situation... Red Buttons reappears and takes over Brando's part from Streetcar.... somehow the line which is almost sung, but closer to "plainsong" the line repeats as if it is the tag line to a joke "strange things are happening" That joke probably happened before all of us were born.. as IIRC Buttons was a strait actor, but my mum said he was a comic . But don't all comics get to be actors when they aren't as hip ( hep?) funny any more?
Can't help you much with the sound card but can tell you Red Buttons was a very big comic in the 50's& early 60's who happened to play a couple of good straight parts as in Flower Drum Song, I believe, or something like Madame Butterfly. He was much like Red Skelton, Danny Kaye. Lotsa visual stuff, rarely off color. Those guys didnt need obscenities to be funny! Guess they would be considered dull or stupid by current standards.
One suggestion on your sound card, Look in your bios as you boot and see if it sets up any irqs, dma's etc for the sound card, then use those numbers via Yast to set the card. Works for my POS Compaq with ESS 1879 card as Yast automatically thinks it is something else!
Another question, is your card plug n play or do you have to set the irq's etc?
If pnp, have you tried letting the bios rescan the cards on boot?
Luck, ra
Red Buttons also played an interesting part in the movie "The Longest Day", which had a hugh number of top stars from the US, UK, and Germany. But that is getting a bit OT. To get YaST2 to run when you are logged in as yourself, you should use sux. That will setup the X environment to allow root to use display :0.0. Or you can run YaST2 from the menu system System->Configuration->YaST and it will use kdesu. Or you can run YaST2 as "kdesu yast2". Using YaST, hopefully you can configure your sound card. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account near Huntsville, AL
