Thanks, some progress but still no sound. emerged alsa-xmms, and found how to select it as an output plugin. And get loud white noise. So I tried emerge alsa-oss, I am a little confused here as I have already selected oss api emulation in my alsa kernel config (and oss mixer api oss pcm). This made xmms unhappy, it failed to open, so hitting nut with hammer emerged xmms again now roughly back where I started. Odd thing is with some tracks I get about one second of sound at start of track and then silence. My card is S3sonicvibes. Any other suggestions very welcome David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] 2.6.1 gnome terminal dead
Hi This is the first time I have booted 2.6.1-mm, and it booted in to gnome as usual. But when I start an terminal window it opens OK, but I get no prompt or any text in the window. typing has no affect. I thought it may be keyboard mapping, but keyboard works fine here in thunderbird. Only message in dmesg that looks half relevant is atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, Code 0x7a on isa0060/seno0) Any suggestions as where I should look?

Re: [gentoo-user] D-link DI-614+ wireless router
On Friday 30 January 2004 8:05 pm, Andrew Gaffney wrote: I just got a D-link DI-614+ wireless router and a PCMCIA wireless card. I can get the wireless card to see the WAP just fine. The problem is that the WAP is designed to hook directly to a Cable modem or DSL modem. Well, I already have a DSL modem/router. I can hook up a cable from a LAN port on the existing router a LAN port on and WAP. I can see the WAP's IP from both sides of it: wired and wireless. I disabled the DHCP server on the WAP. The problem is that DHCP requests don't pass through the WAP to my existing router. Does anyone have any idea how to configure this thing to act as a normal non-router WAP? I have the DWL-900AP+ so it may have different options, but on my unit under LAN menu I can select dynamic IP, and it then passes dhcp through to the modem. But note it also gets it own IP the same way, so you may have to search around to find it before you can config it any more. Or if all else fails the way I started was to use static IP's David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] recommended 2.6 emerge for first time user
On Tuesday 27 January 2004 8:31 pm, James Lee wrote: Portage pretty much takes care of everything you need when installing 2.6. You won't need the alsa-driver package anymore. Everything is still configured the same way (modify /etc/modules.d/alsa, modules- update, rc-update add alsasound boot). One thing to remember is that your modules names should be placed in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel- 2.6 when you want them to automatically load at startup. Also, to compile the kernel, you only have to type make bzImage modules modules_install. Other than that, though, its a very easy transition. Good luck with it. Another dumb question I have alsa working with 2.4 so if I emerge 2.6 and use genkernel, will I then have to change any of the alsa setup? Thanks to all the people giving 2.6 hints, I will do it real soon now... David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm asking, because I decided to put this into my car and I need to know what type of inverter I should buy. Hmmm, I think you will find the actual power used is not the important figure. Power on peak will come in to it, but PC power supplies are expecting a sine wave they can pull large pulses of power from and inverters put out a current limited square wave, they do not work well together. Vastly oversizing may be OK, but I have not tried it. David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Substitute for Kdevelop
Can you please recommend which IDE would be the best? I have exactly the same question. I know many people like vi or emacs (or both) but this is not interesting to those of us who like gui development. My target is to find the features I used in Codewright under m$. I have just emerged eclipse, and it looks promising, but it has not been simple to learn some of the basics. I have seen reviews of books about eclipse for java development, but can anyone advise any tutorials for eclipse as a C IDE. Am I right in thinking anjuta, is less developed than kdevelop and eclipse? David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

And now use ADSL. But I have seen long discussions on other mailing lists (suse) for them it was posible to fix by changing modem init strings. From my discussions with ISP at the time not all modems are as compatable at either end of connection as they should be and the ISP tend to setup to match the majority. So your task is to make your modem think m$ configured it, or find ISP who like your current config. As to why it fails after variable period, I have no idea. David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
