There are a few informative pages out there which helped me a lot.[1] I finally managed to get version 436 (from lokigames website) to run. It starts up and runs without any problems, but the sound lags behind the graphics for about 1 or 2 seconds. Does anybody know what I can do about this? I have installed the ports linux_base-6.1 The base set of packages needed in Linux mode linux_devtools-6.1 Packages needed for doing development in Linux mode and the linux rpms: mktemp-1.5-1 gzip-1.2.4-14 cpio-2.4.2-13 tar-1.13.11-1 findutils-4.1-32 Glide_V2-2.53-6 [2] My Hardware is: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor (598.84-MHz 686-class CPU) real memory = 134152192 (131008K bytes) a soundblaster 64 PCI sbc0: at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,5 on isa0 pcm0: on sbc0 and a 3dfx voodo II card The kernel-config file contains only device pcm as sound-related lines /dev/soundstat outputs: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Nov 23 2000 03:20:01 Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5 (1p/1r channels duplex) The whole thing is on a relatively new 4.2-STABLE 'world': FreeBSD btl 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #3: Thu Nov 23 03:20:31 CET 2000 root@btl:/usr/src/sys/compile/BTL i386 Sound output generally wors fine for me (playing .mp3 and .au's) xkoules (from ports) does have sound lag, too. But xblast (from ports, too) doesn't. I'm a bit at a loss now. Is it the soundcard, or a driver issue? Can I fix that somehow? Any help would be appreciated... CU, Sec [1] unfortunately they are not completely up to date, i had to build the libglide from source, which required installing a bunch of rpms in the linux-emu.
