Obviously, my sequencer is not working... 1've got 2 1's and no
4's...correct now
'''' shoudl have read...
sndconfig is a classic cl tool that handles the setup of sb cards.
It is best used without the gui running...
1. 'find / -name sndconfig' .... from the commandline or by using findfile
from the menu. If you don't find it, the find the rpm (should be on the cd)
and install the package...
2. 'su -' .... from the commandline {switch user to root user)
3. 'init 3' .... switches you from runlevel5 (the network & gui) to
runlevel3 (ntework and commandline)
4. {log in as root} ...
5. execute that file.... It may take a while to autodetect the sb card {and
probably will not detect it} but choose it from the list, edit the settings
(run with the defaults if it works), listen to the wav sample (Linus'
pronuciation guide for 'Linux') and exit the program.
6. 'init 5' or 'shutdown now -r' {better to reboot IMHO}
Perhaps you should see if you have the file before you switch runlevels to
3...by running #1
I've used this plenty of times....
Now if I could only get my ymf-pci (yamaha ds-xg builtin on a se440bx-2 mb)
to use the PCM device on my Mandrake box, I'd be a happy guy... (alsa 5.12a
I think)...
ANY TAKERS ON THAT???

Subject: Re: [brlug-general] Red Hat 7.3 Adventures
I've had no trouble getting it to boot. Grub seems to
handle dual booting quite well.
Reinstalled with all the options and still have plenty of
room. There is still one module missing, block-major-30.
Anyone know where it can be found on the Web?
Have a classic SoundBlaster16 card, which is listed in
the hardware listings as supported. The RH install does
identify my video card and monitor correctly, and they
work at true color 1024x768. Modifed fstab as before
to let users mount CD and floppies -- the only likely
user is me, and I would prefer to fool with the CD as
a regular user, rather than root.
Installed both Gnome and KDE but boot to the command
line. Set KDE as default GUI, since the KDE utilities
seemed easier for me. Downloaded blackbox and another
GUI and may experiment with installing them. Then I
plan to fool with cdrom and alternatives.
Have copied the boot logs to floppy to bring to the part
of the machine that can print. Will see if the Win
printer driver will work under the CodeWeavers version
of Wine, which would let me print directly.
Will set up the dial-up internet again and see what the
RH site wants me to download as patches.....
