Hi Matt! Thanks a lot again for being so kind to help. My whole system is tonight a little bit out of order. It takes the system more than 2 minutes to boot and I don't get into KDE ==> Crash! Before this I tried to install some drivers one after another, but in /dev/sndstat I could see no interesting contents. Then I got back to the general driver (snd_driver_load="YES"). Since then the system does not work properly. I think you are right with your guess. But something else must be wrong. I must still say that yesterday FreeBSD made some noises in KDE! For me it was a big step in the right direction and it was just like a baby who tries to speak :-) I thought maybe I could make it "talk" tonight. Anyway ... I think the best is to reinstall the whole system once again. By now I am writing this email from my second PC that is an XP (sorry!). But I will make FreeBSD run!!! If I may I will stay in contact with you and will write again when my FreeBSD is working again ... Many thanks and best Regards Sia Thursday, October 28, 2004, 2:45:18 AM, you wrote: MN> On Wednesday 27 October 2004 01:12, you wrote: >> Hi Matt! >> >> Sorry, if I am disturbing you again! >> >> I just wanted to send you the result of my trys!
