I've got 4 situations:
I'm running RH 6.1 on a 400mhz Intel machine.
It has a sound blaster card in it. And I'm not sure which one.
May not matter for this. You tell me.
1. Sound:
As far as I can tell there is a driver loading when the machine boots.
It scrolls by pretty fast so I can't read it.
When I run X I can't seem get any sound out of it. Is something turned
off or not configured or what. Basic question is how do I trouble shoot
this. Externally everything is plugged in, power is on, volume is up.
2. CD: (somewhat related to 1.)
I tried running the CD player and I get nothing; however when I hit the
eject button on the CD player in X it will eject the CD. I assumed from
there that the CD is working OK. But again there is no sound.
3. Mouse:
When I open the terminal emulator in X and have the mouse pointer in the
window, if I touch the keyboard I get long streaky lines (look like
noise lines) about an inch wide from the bottom of the terminal window
to the bottom of the screen. If I hold a any key they will follow the
mouse until it leaves that window and reappear when the mouse goes back
in. I haven't seen it in any other windows. What do you make of that?
Finally
4. When the machine boots. I get a message dev/hda1 not unmounted
cleanly.
After almost a minute (when the generic status meter goes all the way
across the screen) it reports passed and continues to load whatever is
left. After that its business as usual.
I was a blurb on a web page somewhere that suggested that it wasn't shut
down properly. How do I fix it?
Thanks
Arnie
