1 Hi,
2 I have 2 more glitches to report :-)
3 1 - /var/tmp was missing on my rc4_pre2
4 2 - xfree4 depends on freetype (xterm is linked against it)
5
6 And now the 'bit' : I have a hard time getting sound to work.
7 But I guess that may not be the most important :-)
8 I have a SoundBlaster AWE64 card and I'm new to ALSA.
9 I guess the first thing that should be generic is to
10 put the sound devices in /etc/devfs.conf or to run
11 'snddevices' during setup.
12 Or am I completely wrong there ?
13 /proc/asound/* does tell me quite a bit about my soundcard, but
14 the ALSA tools won't talk to it. I don't really want
15 you to bother with my problem, but I think there is
16 something generic - like I the correct setup of /dev/
17
18 Cheers
19 Andreas
