I don't know exactly, but it seems like gnome has a problem accessing /dev/mixer after restarting X server. So, it thinks you have no sound card, and mutes itself. However, it's not gnome's problem, i've noticed this using other WMs. I'm not an Xfree or alsa hacker and I cannot say something other than my (maybe stupid) suggestions. -- Regards, Nickolay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
