Re: [expert] soundcard problem...conflicting irq?

I am not sure when it occured but when my audio is playing (system sounds) it is interrupted with cricket-like noises. A screechy-static like sound. Looking at my hardware settings in control-panel (Mandrake 7.2, kde-2.0) I see that my soundcard is sharing an IRQ with my ethernet card. Me thinks this is part of the problem. I would like to change the irq assignment of either one or the other but don't know how to go about this. I can't change anything on the soundcard with sounddrake. Kudzu won't let me either. Is there a simple means by which I can change the irq or the ethernet card or soundcard? If both are PCI devices, interrupt assignment is done automatically by the PCI BIOS from the interupts not reserved in your PC BIOS for legacy devices or known to be dedicated. You cannot change PCI-assigned interupts. Interrupts serviced through the PCI BIOS are intended to be transparently sharable where the PCI BIOS has assigned the same interrupt to two devices. This works well on most devices, up to and including TV cards.The legacy non-PCI-assigned interrupts must be dedicated, one per device. You can make your unused interrupt 5 available to the PCI BIOS for allocation by making sure the machine BIOS does not have 5 assigned to Legacy. The PCI BIOS assigned interrupts are documented in the second BIOS display page. I hope this helps ... -- Regards, Ron.

Re: [expert] soundcard problem...conflicting irq?
Hmpf. It's the only thing I can think of that would be a cause of the NEW problem...which only actually appeared at some point after an upgrade to 7.2 but it CAN'T be Mandrake 7.2, because... I have an AudioPCI es1371 card and a PCI 3com 3C900B card presently sharing an irq. The soundcard has worked fine in the past, no cricket noises, no problems. I have now found that the same problem occurs under windoze, which made me think the card went bad. I picked up a new card, a soundblaster PCI 128 (drats!!) which isn't well supported under linux, it turns out. Windoze had the same problem with it as with the AudioPCI card it replaced...chirping noises covering most system sounds. I couldn't get it working under linux but since the same problem occurred, AND in a different PCI slot, I guess it isn't the card. I have also tried two separate sets of speakers but that doesn't change anything. I have an AOpen AK72 mobo with athlon 700. The onboard sound is disabled (I would use it if it were possible under linux). This problem with chirping static noises happening when sounds are played is rather new, and doesn't coincide with my original upgrade to this motherboard and cpu. It can't be a linux problem either since it also occurs in windoze. I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried different PCI slots, different audio cards, different speakers. I've also tried different kernel builds. Anyone?

[expert] imwheel Netscape
With crossed fingers for good luck I will report my the findings of my experiment with imwheel and Netscape.. I first downloaded the source for imwheel from cooker. I compiled it, I installed it and I found that I still had the same problem with imwheel stopping in Netscape whenever it wanted to stop even though it was still loaded. Below I have quoted information that Alan Shoemaker posted some time ago. According to Alan this code, and I quote again, "try adding adding the short piece of code below, to the end of your ~/.Xdefaults file. Doing so stopped that flaky scroll wheel behavior on my system." I had done that. But after some thought I found that I had added some other lines that change the items(icons) in the Netscape toolbar to ~/.Xdefaults and Alan's code was NO LONGER the last entry. I moved Alan's code to the bottom of ~/.Xdefaults and I have had no problems with imwheel since. That is almost three days and having loaded and unloaded Netscape many times and after having loaded Netscape multiple times in the same session and loading multiple Netscapes at the same time. To this minute I can't seem to make it stop working.

It's the only thing I can think of that would be a cause of the NEW problem...which only actually appeared at some point after an upgrade to 7.2 but it CAN'T be Mandrake 7.2, because... I have an AudioPCI es1371 card and a PCI 3com 3C900B card presently sharing an irq. The soundcard has worked fine in the past, no cricket noises, no problems. I have now found that the same problem occurs under windoze, which made me think the card went bad. I picked up a new card, a soundblaster PCI 128 (drats!!) which isn't well supported under linux, it turns out. Windoze had the same problem with it as with the AudioPCI card it replaced...chirping noises covering most system sounds. I couldn't get it working under linux but since the same problem occurred, AND in a different PCI slot, I guess it isn't the card. I have also tried two separate sets of speakers but that doesn't change anything. I have an AOpen AK72 mobo with athlon 700. The onboard sound is disabled (I would use it if it were possible under linux). This problem with chirping static noises happening when sounds are played is rather new, and doesn't coincide with my original upgrade to this motherboard and cpu. It can't be a linux problem either since it also occurs in windoze. I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried different PCI slots, different audio cards, different speakers. I've also tried different kernel builds. I have that problem if I have the covers off my box and if I place the speaker which has the amplifier etc close to (within 6 inches or so) of the card slots.

I think you have to configure gdm using it's config file. Not hard but mildly annoying to configure GUI elements of the system w/ a none-GUI config system.

Re: [expert] Trapped in Gnome -- Solved!
Umm no. I am a fond user of both KDE and Gnome and think both have great potential but your look on this is just warped. There is no 99.8% open source. Either you are open source or you aren't. Open source itself might be considered 99.8% of free software as it lossens some of the rules to try to grab in those who have trouble letting go of outdated methods (often do to upper-mgmt who doesn't quite understand the concepts and history and why they work so well). RedHat was not the only supporter of Gnome, not by far, but they were a big supporter and did pay many of the key people to do their work. RedHat has a strong history of maintaining as much free software/open source purity as possible in their dist, unlike many dist's who like to give away other peoples work but not their own, and it was no doubt largely due to these concerns that they did support the Gnome project. If not for Gnome KDE and their continuing pressure the QT libs might never have been opened so we have both projects to thank for this. Gnome is not RedHat's GUI, they just couldn't fully support KDE because of their commitment to the community until it was opened. Now that it is opened Gnome KDE are treated as equals and I in fact always install and use both on all my boxes. Both projects are progressing very nicely and for almost all apps it is possible to run them within the other enviroment without problem. It is this competition of buddies that is helping both projects come along so quickly so we're lucky to have so many options. I myself have no trouble switching back and forth so I can't tell you what you may be doing wrong. There could be a broken package in RH7, that is why experienced users seldom use .0 releases.
