A few months back I was dual booting with RedHat 7.3 and could play Quake III Arena no problem there but trying to play it in Mandrake Cooker (up to 9.0) always resulted in this error message (following other initializations) when starting the game from a terminal: ------- sound initialization ------- ------------------------------------ Received signal 11, exiting... I've since removed RH and gone back to MDK 8.1 (couldn't keep up with downloads of Cooker with slow internet connection) and I still get the same error message. The README file states "Please note that at the time of this writing, PCI based sound cards such as the SoundBlaster Live and Diamond Monster MX series were not supported." But I can't understand why it worked in RH on the same hardware but not in MDK. It makes no difference whether I try to start the game as root or user. Is there anyone here with an SB Live! soundcard that can play Q3A in MDK? If so, perhaps you may know what I'm doing wrong? TIA Sharrea PS. Nvidia drivers are installed and 3D works fine (eg. Tuxracer). I only have the demo version of Quake III Arena. -- The box said "Requires Windows 95 or better" so I installed Linux.
