it...I hope this helps.

[newbie] Sound Blaster Install problems, Gnome desktop acting wierd?

2000-06-17 Thread BrewMan

I just installed Mandrke complete 7.0 a couple of days ago.  I am still
trying to get the hang of it.  There are a couple of things that I am
wondering about so far.
1 - I can't get my Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE64 to work.  I dropped
to another session as root, used both sndconfig and soundconfig, but
neither gets the card to work.  sndconfig hangs after saying it finds a
pnp soundcard, and soundconfig says the device is busy.  I used the same
settings for address, IRQ and DMA that show up on my computers boot
sequence in soundconfig.

2 - There are about 4 icons that have disappeared from my desktop in
Gnome, including the autostart, trash, and a couple others.  They
are present on a directory listing on a terminal session, and show up on
a KDE session.  They seem to sporadically pop up, and I can't see any
reproducible actions I have made that do this.  I can't figure this out.

Thanks for the thoughts.  I am sure more questions will come with time.
