I have been following some of the threads and something similar was mentioned a while back. If those stanzas are mentioned, in which doc is it? For the video (notice the S in CARDS): VIDEO_CARDS=nv nvidia vesa (leave out the nvidia if you don't want to mess with proprietary drivers) I want to try some games, so I am using your suggestion, including the proprietary drivers. For sound, SOUND_CARD is not a valid option. You can set ALSA_CARDS to have alsa-drivers only build specific drivers, but that is optional, and only applies to the alsa-drivers package. If you use the sound drivers from the kernel, this has no effect. The correct setting for ALSA_CARDS would probably be: ALSA_CARDS=emu10k1 Thanks!. BTW, I am trying to build myself a gaming/audio recording box (which will be slightly more powerful than this one, which I have named tinwhistle). This is my current workstation/playstation/recording station box, running Fedora Core 4, DuMuDi, Gentoo and Windows XP pro multiboot box. So far, so good. Is anyone on this list using Ardour on Gentoo yet? I am compiling that now. I had to partition my drives 5 times before I got the sizes I needed to compile America's army and I think I finally got it right. I may give this box to a friend of mine after I get my new box (uilleann) built. I dread installing Windows XP Pro yet again. -- Phil Sexton My Home Page: http://fancypiper.info/ Free tunes: ftp://fancypiper.info/ Naomi's Fancy: http://www.naomisfancy.net/ Our 2nd CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/naomisfancy/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
