After serveral postings, I really did not get any help on setting up my
Acer FX-3D sound card (AD 1816 based). However, I downloaded and
installed the drivers from Open Sound and at least the KDE CD Player
works, so I guess I now have sound.
I went to a site (www.bluemountain.com) which has music (in Windows
usually played by Crescendo). However, there is a plugin called UMP for
LINUX. I followed the instructions and downloaded and installed it, as
well as something called timidity. However, when I try the bluemountain
website, I get a message in Netscape saying "timidity.cfg" no file or
directory.
Now, in the instructions for UMP, it says this may happen if
timidity.cfg is not in the expected directory: /usr/local/lib/timidity
Actually (and I don't really know how it got there), it is in
/usr/lib/netscape/usr/local/lib/timidity
The instructions then say to set the TIMID-DIR environment variable to
the name of the alternative directory. I am not very familiar with bash
(which is my shell) -- sort of the default for Mandrake, and I cannot
figure out how to do this.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
