[[ gnome2-lite wouldn't go, for some reason.... [?] ]] Anyway, I do have a sound card in this one, but which *.ko I load or compile is the question. If memory serves, I think this has a Matrox card. I've tried adding a few sound [snd_*.ko] files, but no sound. The OSS dialogs open, but the tests produce no sound.. Would the sound card show up in dmesg if there were a sound card hiding? Any help out there? This old box is an HP Kayak "XU/XW". thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
