SB Live! Drivers..
I just installed a new SB Live! card in my PC, and tonight I'm going to install Creative Labs drivers for it, but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with these drivers, and things I may want to watch for/avoid, never, EVER do.. ;-P --- Thomas Charron Wanted: One decent sig Preferably litle used and stored in garage. ? ** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **

You'll want to get the drivers from: http://opensource.creative.com/ You want the emu10k1 stuff. The only problem I ran into was in compiling. The Makefile has some sort of auto detection for a kernel version but it wasn't working. I had to manually enter my kernel version at the top of the Makefile, it only wants the major numbers (ie 2.2 or 2.3) not the minor numbers (ie 2.2.12) (and naturally this wasn't documented, not even a comment!). Of course back then, the auto detection was quite new, and I suspect they've fixed it by now, so you probably won't have to worry about it. Also you may want to turn DEBUG off at the top of the Makefile, with debug on it tends write *lots* of stuff to the system log. -Matt -- Matthew W.

Anyway, I'll be sure to let you all know if it's an issue, but I think the fact that I also updated to a Voodoo3 card might be a factor in this as well.. I am also running a Voodoo3 with the latest (at the time) drivers from the 3dfx website.

They do NOT provide the ability to play MIDI through the on-board synth, and I'm not sure if they support external MIDI yet either. Haven't tried, and don't care to. I actually just downloaded some drivers from the ALSA project, wich seem to work fine, though I still can't get the card to play any MIDI, except externally. I have some equipment I can hook up to it that way (an old MT-32) but I obviously would much rather have the card play the music, since Ensoniq's stuff is exponentially better than the ancient Roland synth... I didn't get around to fixing /etc/conf.modules for the ALSA drivers yet... If you don't load the right modules using modprobe (i.e. you used insmod instead) there are about 20 modules that you need to load by hand, and you must load them in the right order... That was fun. :) Of course, once I figure out which modules I need to load via modprobe, it should be no problem (according to the docs, which I've only skimmed so far). -- "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?""Who watches the watchmen?" -Juvenal, Satires, VI, 347 Derek D.

I run KDE most of the time, and I've 8 desktops with at least 3 windows open on them all the time (often more), and I would have my session lock up maybe once every three days, or maybe slightly more often if I was really rockin' the machine. Haven't had this problem since I installed the ALSA drivers, but then it's only been one day. And, installing those is not for the average user (yet).

I'm already reasonably convinced, but I'd like to be able to point even more definitively to the card/drivers as the problem. Sure. Tell me what info you want to compare. If we share every last detail, we could be sifting through the info for months!!
