While we're at it (ie, on the subject of mamed), my mamed is now working a treat with the file Pieter sent me. Thanks for the quick resolution.
I'm just downloading and installing Gnome to see if the breakage in my distro is something to do with KDE in anyway, but then if it's not then it's goodbye Onbase linux and back to Mandrake Linux (yet again!) This is getting quite boring (the distro switching). Is anyone else finding a lot of distro's to be a bit half baked and flawed at the moment, or is it just me and my combination of hardware??!!
