Subject: Installing audio driver... weird case
Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2000 06:54:42 GMT
I have an Asus K7V motherboard w/ built in sound.
It comes with a driver for Red Hat 6.2 and I am running Mandrake 7.0 (I know
Mandrake is 99% compatible with Red Hat) and I don't know how to install it.
Is there a way, or should I go out and get a sound card that is recognized
by Linux?

i got the idea that perhaps the xterm wasn't fully
started when myscript.py was executed.
so i put a 'sleep 1' after the xterm, and now it
works...
could that have been the cause (what else)?
and i guess that xinit also takes care to kill all
the programs started via xinitrc when exiting X?
...since my script doesnt survive when i go back
to textmode (which in fact is what i want).
i looked at the mandrake reference. apparently
their way of doing things is the System V, while
slack uses the BSD way.
is there some way to have System V flexibility on
a slack system?

You can probably get one from IBM too.

Paul,
On a suse box, you should have the rpm log files at /var/lib/rpm
I believe that they can be rebuilt by running yast again.
Insert your installation medium (installCD) into the computer, start
yast, and choose to "adjustments to installation". This will allow you
to specify and mount the install medium --CD. Once mounted, you can
back out one step and go to "choose/install packages". This will read
what packages are available to install from the CD. It will also cause
the system to be queried to see which programs are already installed. I
think that if it doesn't find the rpm log files, it creates them again.
When in this section of yast do some investigating because there are
various options, and I think that there is even an option to directly
query the os to see what is installed.
Just remember that yast will trip up on you if you don't access the
installation medium first.
Write back for further details if necessary. I hope I can help. Remove
caps from address if writing back.
Regards,
Valentin
