on my machine (mandrake 9 with devfs enabled), /dev/dsp is a link to /dev/sound/dsp. did you check that? else, i can't figure what's wrong with the system. is sound working in the console before starting X, and in other graphic environments? if yes then it may be an arts problem. also, check that the user who is starting X is the first user to log into the system, because the first user is the one who is given ownership of /dev/dsp. i don't know whether this is generally true of linux, but that's the way it happens on my mandrake box. - t. -- cogito, ergo es. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
