Hi,
I am very new to Linux, but I'm trying to learn the basics. I have a
couple of probably very simple questions. 1. When using sound under Gnome
with ESD enabled, sounds mix together when being played, ie. If I'm using
GAIM and playing mp3s I'll hear both sounds at once. With KDE this is not
the case. I'll hear the sounds for GAIM, that would have occurred over a
period of ten minutes, all bunched together after the song is finished. Is
there anyway to adjust this? I noticed that it happens with any two sounds
being played simultaneously. Is it something that only ESD can do? 2.
With Mandrake 6.1 I used to be able to use Gnome if I copied Xclients to my
Home directory and added gnome-session. However with Mandrake 7.0 I cannot
get this to work. The only way I can get into Gnome is by running Prefdm.
Is there another way of doing this? I know there is someway to do it with
xinitrc, but I don't know how. Thanks a lot for any help with these
questions. I know they are simple, but I'm still learning.
Mike
