Re: [newbie] Diamond Viper II now it's sound
Got my video card working again but now the sound doesn't work. Don't know if it's KDE 2.0.1 or if something happened with losing the video and getting it running again. Tried sndconfig and that doesn't work and my soundcard shows in the Hardware Configuration but aRts doesn't seem to start. Any suggestions? It's the Yamaha DSXG soundcard btw.

Try setting 'agp aperture' to 4 in bios. That effecitvely disables AGP sidebanding, more or less disables AGP altogether. Then it might have a better chance. Try it, might work. Otherwise, holler back an specify your motherboard, ram, bios (video related) settings etc.

Re: [newbie] Diamond Viper II
Thanks Tom, I reinstalled Mandrake 7.2 and used the generic Savage 2000 (which I also did on the 1st install) and it is working this time. Don't know what was wrong the 1st time.
