Happened to me too, with Beta 3 install of LM 8. I don't know anything about fonts, or about xfstt vs. xfs. I'd like to hear a step by step solution also. Not just a 'turn off widget-33-2-1234.cc and recompile this other widget.' Also, aRts in KDE 2.1 is not working for me. I can pull up XMMS and listen to audio CDs or MP3's or even .wav's. My Heretic-II demo has great sound. I know the soundcard is functional now. Yet KDE's default sound player (which I *think* is aRtsd) is not running. I've tried slocate arts (and slocate artsd) and I find some documentation but nothing in /bin or /usr/bin that I could run. None of the console commands listed in the aRts FAQ works on my system, and the FAQ just says 'install kdesupport rpm and recompile everything and it will work.' Seems like it's installed, querying rpm database shows that the kdesupport package is installed. My system notifications CAN play through XMMS, so I know that the frame work is working well. Any ideas?? I have an ess-solo1 audiodrive soundcard. >Hello, > >I have always used xfstt.
