RE: Quake3 on RedHat 7.2
No, I don't have esd running (I don't even think I have it installed). I know that artsd is running in the background, but if I do a `fuser -n file /dev/dsp`, it returns nothing. unless I'm incorrectly using fuser :) I modified my .xinitrc so that I would run twm instead of KDE upon one X-session, but that still didn't help. -Rob > > I have a script I use to launch Quake (and some other games) from the > command line (it starts XFree86 directly).

Easy solution: Remove one of the sound cards :) What do you need both for anyway? On Mon, 15 Apr 2002, BG wrote: > I had a problem with Return to Castle Wolfenstein and sound.

RE: Quake3 on RedHat 7.2
I had a problem with Return to Castle Wolfenstein and sound. My problem is still there, but I am able to get around it sometimes. I have two sound cards and only one is RH 7.2 compatible sometimes. I have to occasionally remove the one that is mostly incompatible and let Kudzu uninstall it and then shutdown, reinstall the card and then reboot and tell Kudzu to "DO NOTHING" about the new card. I don't have the experience with Linux to tell the system which card to use if both are installed. It always chooses the incompatible one by default and then I get no sound. BTW - is there some way to tell the system which card to use by default?? Sorry this is probably no help for your problem. I hope someone can help with my problem.

I have a script I use to launch Quake (and some other games) from the command line (it starts XFree86 directly). Grab it from http://www.billemon.org.uk/pub/users/bill/src/misc/xrun (same URL with ftp: works too). You need to add some "layout" sections to your XF86Config-4 or hack the script a bit to suit your installation but it does simplify launching games. Avoids /dev/dsp problems (that said, I can launch most games on my GNOME desktop without problems ... so I'm puzzled by it not working for you.

RE: Quake3 on RedHat 7.2
Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about KDE grabbing hold od /dev/dsp with the arts daemon, so I tried it in a twm session. Same results unfortunately. I'll still try it out, since I have no other ideas :) -Rob > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Brian Ashe > Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 3:02 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Quake3 on RedHat 7.2 > > > Rob Dege, > > On Monday April 15, 2002 02:54, you said something about: > > Okay, I've got RedHat 7.2 running damn well.

Untested with quake3, but this should work... artsdsp The reason... KDE _does_ have the /dev/dsp tied up. arts is running. So you have to have something pipe the output into arts.

Quake3 on RedHat 7.2
Okay, I've got RedHat 7.2 running damn well. I just installed quake3, and that works just as well, with the exception that I have NO SOUND! The error I get is that /dev/dsp is either busy, or I don't have permissions to use it. I changed /dev/dsp so that I have rw access: crw-rw-rw- root root/dev/dsp Even when I try to run the program as root (via sudo), I still get the same error. Yet I can use xmms, mplayer, and KDE with no problems. Yes, I made sure no other programs were accessing the device when I started. Any suggestions? -Rob ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
