Odd sound issue
Hello, I'm running a Debian 2.1r4 box with a SB 16 WavEffects (CT4171) sound card. It seems to work in some things but not others. I have support for it compiled into the kernel and I have 'PnP OS?=No' in the BIOS (Award 4.51pg, I believe). cat english.au > /dev/audio works fine, but xanim english.au doesn't. kmedia plays .wav's, but xanim doesn't. xmcd works fine, but rvplayer 5.0 doesn't. Any suggestions? TIA :) Matthew Thompson http://mattyt.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oz.net/~mattyt --Someday, I'll have a web page.--

Just a simple "lpr" works fine for me. I had "lpr" and it still wasn't working.

sane
hi, i'm trying to get my umax s6e scanner to work using davidm's sane. i have a adaptec ava-1505 card working well with my scsi zip drive. during boot-up, the kernel recognizes my scanner correctly, right down to the model name ( :)! ). it lists it as "generic device sga" or some such (i know it definitely says 'sga' anyway), and yet, there is no device 'sga' in /dev. should i create a device sga? i know it's not a block device, so what kind would it be? any help would be vastly appreciated :) . matty -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

If you try: sh -c "((pwd);pwd)" you'll see the same errors. But, sh -c "( (pwd);pwd)" works well. Bash incorrectly considers (( to be an arithmetic expression introducer when really, it's $((.

Re: PnP ( ie: Modem )
hi,
don't know if this will help at all, but if you're running an award bios
and can upgrade to the latest version (4.51, i believe) it will initialize
the pnp cards for you. i just built a computer with an asus motherboard,
and it initializes my sb32pnp and usr pnp cards so all i have is the
driver for the sb and everything works great!
of course, you have to choose a non-pnp os in the bios setup.
hope this helps! :),
