Did you update any packages before or while doing this, or did you just use the out-of-the box, SuSE60 ones? I did everything you suggest here and kept having a problem where it would tell me that sound was already loaded. If I tried to rmmod sound it said it was in use. I had downloaded some patches and upgraded file per documentation on how to do this. That may have been my problem. I bought oss and my sound works now. Oh well, I guess *you* are the man. BTW, if (the) God(s) do(es) have to reboot the Universe every hundred or so billion years, do ya reckon it gets backed up first? Steve zentara wrote: > Hi, > > Ok, I finally got it to go.
