[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /dev/rtc -l lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Aug 7 18:54 /dev/rtc -> misc/rtc [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /dev/rtc -lL crw-r----- 1 root root 10, 135 Jan 1 1970 /dev/rtc And something like this:- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lsmod | grep timer snd_timer 20292 1 snd_pcm ( There may be other lines as well ) The /dev/rtc is rather important because it is the interface to the computer's real-time clock. The various video and sound systems drivers can use it to great effect. If it's not there try to load the module. I have no idea how to ensure the requisite modules are loaded in Debian, you'll have to ask a Debianist. I trust that that is a "non-anatomical suggestion"? -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
