sound module

1996-11-26 Thread Neil Walker
I have sound (3.5.5-beta1) compiled as a module, this works
and is auto-loaded when required to play midi files with
midi player progs (or insmod sound) but gives an error - 

Sequencer Error: Unable to open Midi #0
write /dev/sequencer: Device or resource busy

when trying to play another file without either waiting for auto-clean
or manually doing a `rmmod sound', then the device may be used again.

This seems to only apply to the midi driver, mod files can be played OK.
I have have checked dma.c and the numbers are as the Sound-HOWTO
for using drq 0.

fuser -v /dev/sequencer gives no output
fuser -v /dev/midi0 gives no output

top shows nothing running that needs the sequencer.
Compiling sound in the kernel gives same results.
Is this normal behaviour ?
or am I doing something stupid agin :-)

Using Debian 1.1 with 2.0.6 Kernel.

Is this the type of question that may be asked here ?
if not I apologize,  

Thanks Neil,

Re: setenv missing

1996-11-17 Thread Neil Walker
Thanks to all who responded, problem solved.
Some time ago I had a trouble with
with color-ls. I had put bash.rc's and bash_profile's
in /etc  /root csh.cshrc and so on 
A clear out and fresh start has worked wonders,

Thanks again ,
Neil

setenv missing

1996-11-15 Thread Neil Walker
Can someone kindly point me in the right direction
to solve a niggling problem, 
When I do a `su' command bash comes up with
an error message,
 
bash: setenv : command not found

I have a man page for setenv which refers 
to stdlib.h, this I have in,

`/usr/include/bsd/stdlib.h' and `/usr/include/stdlib.h'

but I cannot find setenv etc on my system, and
when I am in in a child shell my path is unknown.
The kernel is custom 2.0.6 and mostly modular.
 
Thanks, Neil

How about a SVGALIB based program?  That should fit on a floppy.
Now we have a possible three!:)  dselect, xselect, and vselect

  NCURSES or SLANG, possibly? (isn't slang similiar to ncurses? Kick me if
  its not)  OR like I said, something based on SVGAlib... (which does not
  use X)
  
Have a look at SVGATextMode it's very good.
I got mine of a InfoMagic CD but its on Sunsite,
gives you whatever size screen you want for dselect,
I usually use 116x36.
