I'm now running testing, vmlinuz-2.6.22-3-sparc64-smp on the U60. I installed alsa-utils and ran alsaconf, but didn't write to /etc/modprobe.d/. With only snd-sun-cs4231 in /etc/modules, lsmod looks like this: Module Size Used by snd_sun_cs4231 23568 0 snd_pcm_oss 52512 0 snd_mixer_oss 21056 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 92108 2 snd_sun_cs4231,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 28496 2 snd_sun_cs4231,snd_pcm snd 65248 5 snd_sun_cs4231,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11408 1 snd snd_page_alloc 14416 2 snd_sun_cs4231,snd_pcm and ls -l /dev/dsp* like so: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-03-04 13:13 /dev/dsp Sound seems to be working well as before using aumix or alsamixer and ogg123, mplayer, vlc, etc. Frankly, I don't know anything about 'KNotify' and 'arts'. > I'll try falling back to Etch and see if that fixes it.

I see that on the U60, unlike the U5/U10, the cs4231 is an actual card its own small slot. Maybe it's a hardware problem, although I doubt it. > [Xinerama] > > It turns out to be easy and works well.

I'll save this for when I get around to trying it. Regards, Howard E. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
