Re: CD Audio on iMac DV?
Ian, Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, xmms doesn't seem to do the trick either. I'm not sure what's going on here. When I run the command 'amixer' to check the levels of the various inputs and outputs - I notice the following under 'CD': Group 'CD',0 Capabilities: capture jointly-capture Channels: Front-Left Front-Right Limits: min = 0, max = 0 Front-Left: 0 [0%] [on] [---] Front-Right: 0 [0%] [on] [---] Notice that the 'Limits' line is interesting ... Is this what's kickin' my butt? All other sound seems to work now ... just not CD! -Brice Ian White wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]">On Tue, 3 Jul 2001, Brice D Ruth wrote: I'm at somewhat of a loss ...

CDROM devicefound problem resolved
Dear friends, thank you for response. Any of drivers didn't help me until I download the new version of the kernel (vmlinux2.2.15pre19). Now it works well. Sorry for stupid questions, i'm a beginner.

CD Audio on iMac DV?
I'm at somewhat of a loss ... I appear to have audio working, however I cannot play my CDs. I'm using the ALSA system - and if I test the audio by going into Look'NFeel in the Control Center - I can play the system sounds just fine. However, neither kscd nor freeamp seem to be able to play CD audio. Why is this? -Brice
Re: Miscellaneous bugs
In this particular respect, not much has changed since my YDL-1.2 install ... a particular function 'flush_cache' is missing, so agpgart support cannot be compiled. Someone on the #linuxppc channel told me that enabling 'DRI' in your kernel is enough - though I'm not entirely sure I believe him ... it seems that w/o choosing the card you have, it won't do you any good! -Brice Brice D Ruth wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"> OK - I checked the config for Stew's 2.4.4-6.2 kernel and indeed, DRI is not enabled. So, you'll have to recompile to get it (and it may not recompile - I was having issues under YDL-1.2). In any case - in theory, in the 'Character devices' section of the kernel, scroll all the way to the bottom and select '/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)' - then select 'Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)' and in its submenu, select your graphics card (hopefully its there - mine is, ATI Rage 128).

Re: Miscellaneous bugs
OK - I checked the config for Stew's 2.4.4-6.2 kernel and indeed, DRI is not enabled. So, you'll have to recompile to get it (and it may not recompile - I was having issues under YDL-1.2). In any case - in theory, in the 'Character devices' section of the kernel, scroll all the way to the bottom and select '/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)' - then select 'Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)' and in its submenu, select your graphics card (hopefully its there - mine is, ATI Rage 128).

JDK for Mandrake/PPC?
I'm looking to get Java running on my Mandrake install, but I can't use the PPC Java from blackdown.org since its compiled against libc6.1 (Mandrake has libc6.2). So - what's the solution? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Brice Ruth
