I have come into a few problems now i have pissed off M$ completely. [can't teach an old dog new tricks] Running FreeBSD 5.1 on an Intel D45PESV mainboard. [onboard sound AC97 AC1981B] i have no sound and i cannot browse my network machines in gnome. Everything seems to work just fine, just that i get an error upon starting gnome [something about the mixer] and when i go to add a network server i get nothing. I have noticed that logged in as 'root' i can see them, just not connect. i have no idea about testing sound outside of a GUI so i dont know about it being Gnome related... on another note: does anyone know if a USB wheel mouse can work with 5.1? [im using it with a ps2 adapter with no wheel now] help! -- Regards, Anthony John Carmody Anthony Carmody Consulting Pty Ltd Adaptable Business Computing Solutions ====================================== Cellular/Mobile: +61 414417457 Fax: +617 38708040 Email: anthony@carmoda.com
