Hello all,
I'd like to confirm two bugs that have been reported here before but may have been too vague. 1. When Mandrake 9 is installed in Dutch, drakconf will fail to start. This is a major drawback for Dutch customers and a disappointment for me who put so much effort in translations. :( I found that this problem had already been reported in bugzilla for the 'si' locale on the 9th of August, see https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51 . 2. esd produces digital noise. I use the snd-via686 (ALSA) driver and in 9.0 any sound played through esd is noise. But there are some more sides of this problem (if it is only one problem indeed): - Xine will only play correct sound when it's specified that it should use oss-output (so in fact uses ALSA's oss emulation layer). With esd-output it will play noise AND go nuts when trying to stop playing (Xine will become unresponsive and has to be killed); with alsa09-output the sound will play very distorted. - Xmms however will play sound fine through its ALSA output plugin; with esd output it is again noise. I didn't find an open bug for this on bugzilla. Shall I create one? -- Reinout van Schouwen Artificial Intelligence student email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mobile phone: +31-6-44360778 GPG public key http://www.cs.vu.nl/~reinout/reinout.asc
