Hi all, I ask a while ago how to get x to stop looking for sound as I do not have a sound card and it was filling up my messages log. I didn't get a response so I thought I would post the answer. I use XFCE and it has an option under setup/startup to turn off sound module. Now I have no more errors in the log and x loads faster too. Oh I might as well make a plug xfce is a great desktop if you not 100 percent happy with what you have give it a try. Linda -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
