I'm running potato Debian on a boring beige 8200/120, using the DMA sound driver compiled into kernel version 2.2.13. Now, it's mostly working very well --- the general sound quality is pretty good --- but I am having some problems.
You see, it claims to be OSS compatible. It's not particularly. It works okay if I'm just streaming sound to it but if I try to do anything complex --- like running esd or xmms --- it's got a nasty tendency to fall over or lock up the controlling process. Has anyone else met anything like this? And is there any way of persuading the Platinum video hardware to do anything better than a frankly pathetic 640x480? -- +- David Given ---------------McQ-+ "There is only one thing worse than war, | Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | and that's business.
