sound card kernel module problems (Deb 2.2)

2002-02-01 Thread Simon Harvey
howdy,
the problem that i have is i have a sound card and i would like to know what 
kernal module(s) to install to make it work (so the sounds in gnome work 
properly).

when i was installing debian i used a menu that gave the module name and a 
description of the module, i managed to use that to chose a module that 
installed itself but it didnt work.

i would like to know how to re-run the 'module selector' so i can try other 
modules to get it working properly.

[any other methods would be kindly appreciated]

thanks
simon

problem with linking in xlib6g with gcc

2001-03-13 Thread Simon Harvey
hello;
i have installed xlib6g-dev and made a small xlib program. 
it compiles but when it comes to linking it gives:
unresolved reference: XOpenDisplay (+other guff).

i would like to know what has to be set or what command line options have to be 
given.
the command line options i give are:

gcc -o test test.c -lxlib6g # this didnt link
#then i tried:
gcc -o test test.c -lX11 # this still didnt work,
#then :
gcc -o test test.c -l/usr/X11R6/lib/X11
# this still didnt work.

it would be great if somebody could help me on this.
best wishes for the future.

man dosent display X11 pages after they are installed

2001-03-13 Thread Simon Harvey
i have downloaded xmanpages.deb and installation went just fine. but if i type 
say
man XOpenDisplay
it just pauses, when i push CTRL-C it then says that it cant  remove a file in 
/tmp.

is there some kind of man data base that has to be told where to find the files 
or what ?

X11: no valid modes found

2001-03-05 Thread Simon Harvey
hello,
i  have just installed all the mimimal x packages and have installed them 
successfully.

i manage to get through XF86Config and once the data entry is completed the 
server shuts down then boots up to display a congratourality message.

i then type startx and it comes up with:
error number 110:
xtUNIXTransSocketConnect error
no valid modes found

or something to that effect.
and i am like: what? - it booted up fine after the installiation (to show me 
the congrats' message)- why cant it do it now?.

please help me
this also happened 2 years ago on debian 2.0 - i thought that by reinstalling 
an updated system i would crush that little technical problem. it didnt.

thanks
simon

startx error messages

2001-03-05 Thread Simon Harvey
hello,
i was asked to type:
startx 2 Xerror.log
by a helper on this email list, it was because my svga X-server would install 
and give the GUI congratourly message yet when i types 'startx' it simply 
wouldnt load up.

this was the same for both debian 2.0 and 2.2r2
so here is the output message

thanks.
