To a previous question about /dev, I don't usually use devfs on this machine but to findout what the kernel was seeing:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jon]$ ls /mnt/sound/ dsp dsp1 midi mixer Now to see what of this is really in /dev: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jon]$ ls -l /dev/{dsp,dsp1,midi,mixer} ls: /dev/midi: No such file or directory crw-rw---- 1 root user 14, 3 Nov 30 2000 /dev/dsp crw-rw---- 1 root user 14, 19 Nov 30 2000 /dev/dsp1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root user 14, 0 Nov 30 2000 /dev/mixer [EMAIL PROTECTED] jon]$ groups user rt systems aries sysadmin uucp Note root has the same trouble On Wed, Dec 12, 2001 at 04:40:33PM -0800, Brian Nelson wrote: :The emu10k1 driver in 2.4.6 is pretty stale; it was updated somewhere :around 2.4.9 to come somewhat up to date with the creative sources.
