'Twas brillig, and Felix Miata did gyre and gimble:
Since middle of yesterday I've done three HTTP minimal installs from
Cauldron, all configured to 1600x1200x24bpp@85 when adding X and
minimalist (not via task-kde4-minimal) KDE using urpmi:
1:
Early Sempron 2000MHz CPU
Radeon 7500 AGP Device 0x5157 "RV200 QW" (Dell Optiplex)
NForce2 chipset
KDE bling disabled
x11-driver-video-ati-6.14.4-1.mga2
No post-install visual fault found running radeon driver
Sound does not work
http://www.hbo.com/ requires Flash, but even with Flash installed from
Tainted, the page displays nothing but black in Firefox.
Can you clarify "sound does not work"?
Nothing but background hum coming from connected AV amp connected speakers.
Are you referring to HDMI sound
or regular built in sound?
Surely there exists no motherboard with NForce2 chipset and AGP slot filled
with rv200 that also has HDMI?

AS above
Nothing but background hum coming from connected AV amp connected speakers.
Surely there exists no motherboard with 865/ICH5 chipset and empty AGP slot
that also has HDMI?

'Your card currently uses the ALSA "snd_intel8x0" droiver (the default driver
for your card is "snd_intel8x0)'
PulseAudio enabled
Use Glitch-Free mode enabled
(advanced)
Troubleshooting
The classic bug sound tester is to run the following commands:
- "lspcidrake -v | fgrep -i AUDIO" will tell you which driver your card uses
by default
- "grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf" will tell you what driver it currently
uses
- "/sbin/lsmod" will enable you to check if its module (driver) is loaded or not
- "/sbin/chkconfig --list sound" and "/sbin/chkconfig --list alsa" will tell
you if sound and alsa services are configured to be run on initlevel 3
- "aumix -q" will tell you if the sound volume is muted or not
- "/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp" will tell which program uses the sound card.
(There's no way to tell MCC to run those commands. -> 3kb attachment 2)
Logging in from KDM doesn't improve anything. In fact, after the desktop
seems fully populated, there's a long pause before the panel populates the
tray and it's possible to do anything other than look at the screen.
Oh, and on all systems https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283366 makes KDE4
virtually useless.
