Can you start it from eterm or similar and then post the error message please? thanks, mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

There is a known problem with the soundblaster live ALSA driver and I think all versions of Quake. The problem is that Quake attempt to do a direct mmap of the sound device which causes a memory protection or segmentation fault using the ALSA drivers. I haven't managed to find any solutions to the problem. Possibly this is the problem your experiencing. -- Travis Olds [EMAIL PROTECTED] Research Student Jacaranda Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Adelaide Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
