lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 18 03:45 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp After doing # udevstart: $ sudo udevstart [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -l /dev/dsp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 18 09:02 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp Looks the same to me, but I seem to have permissions for /dev/dsp Saytime works now, it didn't give me audio befor udevstart. Look at the times wierd huh?

I edited xorg.conf, changing driver from nvidia to "nv" just to get X up and running Gotta recreate them. I guess. OK created the nvidia devices like so: mknod -m 660 /dev/nvidia0 c 195 0 mknod -m 660 /dev/nvidia1 c 195 1 mknod -m 660 /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255 And changed back to TARBALL="on" Let's see changed back to "nvidia" and rebooted.
