Ok, 3rd time's the charm MAYBE. Unfortunately, my patience with Mandrake has reached an end. Certain applications require play (/usr/bin/play), which **gasp** someone decided to play with?
Once again (for the third time), how do I get this configured to WORK correctlY? Considering someone up there decided they knew everything and that they should mess with something that worked PERFECTLY, it is now up to that someone to respond. Certain applications rely on play (again /usr/bin/play), some actually rely on the OSS drivers. Some are even ((gasp)) binary applications meaning they CAN NOT be changed. One VERY common application like that is crossover. Since the change, NOTHING for sound has come out of that.. -=THAT=- is enough to drive me back to a decent OS that actually (gasp) WORKS out of the box and doesn't mess with that which WORKS correctly (sound for one). Applications like this, I gladly (GLADLY) pay for. Applications that don't provide basic driver support, or half assed support for said drivers I pay nothing for. Applications (or operating systems) that refuse to LISTEN to what their users are saying I pay nothing for, and no attention to. Since I started using Mandrake, I have seen nothing but problems. Failure to unmount devices properly, failure to do many things properly. Now, this just takes the cake. You take a driver that WAS working, and you trash it. For WHAT reason? So, those of us that REQUIRE the drivers for this card are told what, to go buy a new card? I don't think so!! I realize that life as a tech is damn near impossible (I AM one), but I also realize that there is NO reason to "fix" something or "modify" somthing that works 100%, which up untill this last release sound HAS done. Now, someone, PLEASE explain to me why I all of the sudden have HALF ASSED sound support (right out of the box mind you). I'd LOVE to hear the explanation for this. -- ---------------------------------------------------- TJW: Head tech, Dreamless Realms Mud: http://dreamless.wolfstream.net Snippets http://dreamless.wolfstream.net/ Telnet dreamless.wolfstream.net:9275 The OLC Pages http://olc.wolfstream.net ----------------------------------------------------
