The ES1371 has two output channels, dsp0 and dsp1 AFAICT, but for some
reason only dsp0 gets used unless you explicitly configure one (or
more) sound-emitting programs to use the other one. DOn't know for sure
what's up with that.
The Enlightenment sound daemon (esd) can mix several audio sources in
software, allowing you to stack sounds. Many programs including xmms can
make use of esd--have you tried that?

Did you include the '-t vfat' as part of the mount command? Mine works
just fine, but you have to tell it what filesystem is on the disk.
ISTR you also have to have one of the IDE-floppy options turned on when
you compile the kernel.

with a 3dfx Monster 3D. I used my Glidepad for aiming.

I just went to the XFree web site...
Supported ATI card include Rage 128. However, I think Pro is different.
I might be wrong.
http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/README3.html#3
However, check the following web site if you haven't done so. They
provide detial information. I did not have much trouble following the
instructions and configuring the card. Beginner's luck?

Why do you need Mech 64? ATI Xpert 2000 (AGP) use 128 chip set.

This is not entirely true; I've been mucking about with my website, so
thew few hand-tooled PDQ drivers I have are in fact not available

You need a patched kernel. Maybe SuSE or Mandrake, or patch it yourself.

I have an old IDE hard drive that I am trying to use. The drive works,
except when it tries to access certain sectors the drive emits a 'ticking'

these sectors will survive a format. Is there any way to track down which
sectors they are, and manually mark them as bad?

I am trying to setup RedHat 6.2 on a system, 486DX4-100, 24MB memory.. I
have a 3com NIC, a symbios IDE/FDC Card, a Cirrus Logic VGA Card and an
Adaptec AVA-1505 SCSI card.
I am trying to do a network install and when I try to add the module for
the scsi card (aha152x) It doesn't work. However when I try to specify
the module parameters. aha152x=0x340,11,7,1,1. I get a kernel panic that
says interrupt handlers - not syncing. I have tried all the IRQ's on the
card (it's jumpered) 09,10,11,12. And none seem to make any difference.
RHat says the card is supported. Maybe there is something I am missing.
Thanks very much for your help.

The 3Com 2976/2977 is a PCI hardware modem, and works great in my

I was looking at IDE stuff. I've got a spare IDE channel (currently I've
two hard drives and a CD-Rom on the 2 IDE ports), and I really can't see
that I need the speed advantages of SCSI. (Any _compatibility_ advantages
are a different matter, of course :-).

I've got Linux Mandrake 7.1. My video card is an Asus v3800 TNT2 Deluxe
with 32 meg RAM. I've tried both the Riva TNT2 and nVidia TNT2 drivers
and both present me with the same problem.
My video card is snail-slow when doing anything complex like openGL.
The Aqarium screen saver within Gnome goes at around 4 frames a second.
Since I have a K6-3 450 and 256 megs SDRAM, that really shouldn't be the
case.
If anyone can offer any suggestions on improving my video card speed, I
