First of all, my hat is off to the folks that incorporated the SB Live!
module in the sndconfig- it works pretty well! A minor issue, you would
think, but it has been one of my pet peeves....
Now for the thangs thet aint wurkin!
(KDE)
1. Sound mixer volume controls work sporadically, or not at all.
Default volume settings almost blew me out of the the sturdy plastic
chair I sit in (only the best), and earned me a stern lecture from the
wife...nah, dont ask.
2.. Several of the subdirectories in /mnt , floppy and cdrom are
"locked"; in other words, I don't have permission to access those
directories even as root. I tried some things; I accessed Linuxconf,
created a new mount points using /mnt/cdrom3 ( I have two CDROM
drives, one a writer) for partition /mnt/cdrom, and it promptly locked
the new folder! So the net effect is that I cannot access one of my
CDROM drives, and it would be the CD writer that I was excited about
testing under Linux...
3. Still getting a 1192 K file labeled "core" in the /root directory;
KFM lists this as a core dump file. I thought I had solved the issue (
and the mysterious freezing thing, too) by checking my BIOS settings
and turning off the option "Use PlugNPray OS?". I have not had a system
lockup so far, but there sits the core file...?
Well that should be do for starters- any ideas or fixes????
