Dirk,

that's Cool, you will be a Linux guru in no time!

Write down how you did it in your little black "Linux fixes" book. I think you are right in going for version 9 of Red Hat.

One other thing, When you play a CD or some music of some sort do you get problems when you move the say a window about or fire up a graphically intensive application?

Just interested as my problem was related to the Graphics card (PCI) and the onboard sound card the problem would NOT have occured if the graphics card had been AGP (hence the BIOS fix).

Later

Sime

I basically CAN'T fire up a graphically intensive application, LOL. I've tried and it either crashes or barely runs. I'm still trying to figure that one out...
I just popped an Audio CD in the drive now... it's playing fine, no hiccups or anything. I can move stuff around easily, no problems. Like I said, though, graphically demanding stuff is a little fickle right now... well, at least I can test if it WAS the sound causing the problems, since it is working completely fine now. Just to be safe I'll post this before I try, though, in case i crash. Thanks    , wish me luck   ;)

I crashed, all right.   :(   Oh well, that was sort of expected. I really hope that's not a display problem. Sound may actually be fixed now, although I feel like I'm jinxing myself saying that. Thanks for all your help.    I have some other stuff I'm wondering about but I guess I'll make that a new thread.
Oh, quick question, though; when I put in the CD "kscd" popped up and asked me for a "freedb entry." It plays fine but whines about that. Anybody know what that is?

AHA! I found "fuser". I didn't realize it wouldn't automatically locate all commands like that, it wasn't where I thought it would be. "fuser" IS extremely useful, by the way. it told me now that one thing is using /dev/dsp, and that is "1123." I went into the system monitor and "1123" is "artsd," so it looks like everything is fine! Thanks a lot for all this help!
