Sound is there in the 2.2.10 kernel ... SoundBlaster is under a new
option ... select OSS Sound and the SB option will appear. Below is
the Sound portion of my /usr/src/linux/.config file which allows my
Creative Sound Blaster 16 to work just fine. I use modules as my card
is PnP and that is how I got it to work.

Hi!
Some days ago I had a computer crash. (yes - with Linux...) I was
working with some larger soundfiles in wav-format when everything froze.
When I started up Linux again I couldnīt play nor wave- or mp3files
anymore. Midi works, and the cdplayer too but nothing else. No
systemsound, no nothing.
I tried to play some wav-files with wavplay and this came up:
"inappropriate ioctl for device". Whatīs the problem and how can I fix
it?
Iīm using a Redhat5.1 distribution, Linux2.2.2 and kde 1.1

I have an ASUS 3800 AGP video card with 32 Mbyte ram. I am trying to get it to

I just got done wrestling with a SB16 PnP this weekend. It turns out
that the card doesn't even have a 16-bit DMA channel: the BIOS reports
that the card uses DMA channels 1 and 0. The fix was to recompile the
kernel and modules with the 16-bit DMA channel set to -1.

As far as I know MIDI doesn't compress the samples at all, it has pretty
much only the strict information on the music and not the samples to
play them. The actual samples come from an external source, such as
from a downloaded package of samples or internal samples in a keyboard.
Perhaps I'm wrong..
The MIDI player, from what I've experienced, is a big factor. My simple
Amiga with a 68030 @ 33Mhz plays MIDIs beautifully, very rich and
smooth. Windows, playing the same midi, sounded like the theme to a
cheap kids cartoon. Even my palmtop sounds better than Windows played
it. (Well, maybe not, but.. :) I haven't tried midi's in Linux yet,
perhaps this is a good time to.
Followups have been pruned to cos.hardware where they belong.

Subject: 2 Ppro's - 1 hot, 1 cold???
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 10:19:29 -0700
Hello Folks,
I having trouble with a Dual Ppro computer with two 180 cpu's.
The machine started crashing as the weather got warmer. I thought it might
be a cooling problem. I found that when touching the heat sinks, one is warm
(not hot, just warm) and the other is cold. I tried switching cpu's and heat
sinks/fans but it seems that it's the slot that determines which one gets
warm (secondary). I even tried a different VRM module and this makes no
difference.
Both cpu's are working and my Linux SMP kernel runs just fine until things
get warm.
Any suggestions appreciated,
;-) Paul

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the command you want is
mkbootdisk (at least that comes w/redhat). There's a boot disk howto at
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO.html check it out. I've
never used mkbootdisk, i did it the howto way. my computer booted as if i
was booting from the hd, i couldn't tell any difference whatsoever. As
for dos, the files you need are only in that os. format a: /s should do
it. you'll need to add a line to a:\config.sys to load an atapi cdrom
driver, if you have an atapi compt. cdrom. hope that helps

What version of XFree86 are you running? What video driver are you using?
I use this card with XFree86 3.3.3.1 and the SVGA driver, no problems. IIRC
the setup couldn't autoprobe my card memory, so I had to specify it myself,
but everything else configured normally. (I'm not using Debian, but that
shouldn't be a problem, so long as you have a recent XFree86.)

Hi,

to your second, or third, or whatever
number of virtual screens.
Try to find out the part of virtual screens in the XF86CONFIG file and=20

I understand the card does not support it in the hardware. However, with
the SoftOSS modules, you can get it to play midi with the commercial OSS
drivers. I addressed these issues in my posting. I appreciate your input

Ultra Wide speaks at 40MB/s, Fast Wide at 20MB/s and Wide at 10MB/s,
with 20, 10 and 5 megatransfers/second respectively.
Controllers will negotiate down to the lowest common denominator among

Last post about this i promise.

"The Trio3D is supported in XFree86-3.3.4. Please note that the Trio3D has
the ChipId 0x8904.
The Trio3D/2X, which has ChipId 0x8a13 may have a similar name, but is a
completely
different (and less capable) chip. You can get it to work by adding the
line ChipID 0x8A10 to
the Device Section of the XF86Config file. Better support for this (and
automatic detection) will
be added for XFree86-3.3.5. "

Does anyone have a clue as to why my cursor simply blinks in the upper
left corner of my monitor on my Linux box? Could it be the video card?
I don't want to simply turn the box off, but how do I know or do the
shutdown procedure when I can't see what is being written?
Actually I would like to simply turn the box off, but I don't want to
lose my install. And I want to be able to access all the files I have
created the last 8 weeks or so. The box has been on for 8 or 12 weeks
now.
