Don't think it's a bug. Looks like you didn't put the "allow-user-resources" line in the /etc/X11/config file. >Second thing is that i can't access the audio device (which worked under >1.1.3) anymore. xmix just says that it can't find the mixer device. Kernel problem, maybe? Perhaps the sound module isn't there... --- Benoit Goudreault-Emond Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My opinions are mine only and may not reflect those of my employer.
