Hi, You need to run (as normal user) "wine" (without quotes) in Konsole. That will create the necessary ~/.wine dir, and all required files. Regards, Christian

Hey, it's me again, I tried what you said, still no go. When I went into draksound, and changed my audio driver, it still didn't work, i couldn't even launch freeciv anymore v. weird... anyway, i was wondering if it could be due to the fact that Mandrake 10 comes with alsa 1.0.2, while the intel drivers are 1.0.1 if so, would it be a good idea to upgrade to 1.0.6? and how would i go about this?

Thanks for you help! I'll try that this weekend, as I don't have the time right now :unsure: I'll let you know how it goes,

Actually, Just download the latest drivers. They are working for me (2.6.x kernel) :P Christian

Again, thanks for your reply; I ran aumix, didn't have it installed, so when to mcc and installed it. All my volumes are at 100, except for Rec which is muted. I then ran userdrake, and added myself to the audio group, still no go. Even after a restart. Oh, and just a fyi I'm running Mdk 10.0 Community edition (I know I should upgrade, and will once 10.1 is released.) Thanks! Christian

You can use Wine (for OpenGL and native windows programs) or WineX(Calgera) for DirectX Games. You can use the CVS source from Calgera for free, but good luck, I can't get it to work right :-P

Hi again, I check that file, this is what I had in it, so I didn't edit anything: alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias eth0 e1000 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe imm; /sbin/modprobe ppa; /bin/true install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; } install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true remove snd-intel8x0 { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 When I restart Alsa, I get this: Doing alsactl to store mixer settings...Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy [ OK ] Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 1.0.2c): [ OK ] Starting ALSA version 1.0.2c: intel8x0.

Ah, Thank you very much! I'll try that as soon as I have access to the computer again (currently working ) still, Christian [copy of preceding post removed by spinynorman - please use 'add reply' button]

Hey guys, It's me again, :P Well, I have my video, modem, ethernet, and joystick working, now i just can't seem to get my sound to work. I have a Intel onboard audio chip on a D865PERL board. It's an AC`97 codec. I've tried downloading the driver from Intel's site, but they don't work. Any help would be appreciated Christian

Ok, go to ATI's site and download the driver package for linux. Next, go to MCC (type it into Konsole) and go to Software Management-> Install Next, search by typing in 'kernel' and install the Kernel Souces Package. You will now need to run the ATI installer, tar -zxvf <package_name> then ./<package_name> It will tell you you need to run a command in /bin/ (I forgot what it is) to config your headers. Do that. Now, re-run the installation, then run fglrxconfig and configure your card. Finally, go ahead and restart :-) Christian

Hrm.... in the FGLRX drivers which I personally use, the Rage series of cards are listed... Did you try running that package? Just a suggestion :D Christian [copy of preceding post removed by spinynorman - please use Add Reply button]

Hmm... I only use the ATI 9600 All-In-Wonder pro, but if you run fglrxconfig to create your config file, then TVout works :D WineX also works, although I haven't been able to get Aces High or Flight Simulator to work on it :( As for the changes in config, I've found it better to set it and let it be.(Last time I tried changing something, i had to reinstall MDK ) The performance is something that you could never compare an older one with a newer one, because there is just too greate a difference between models. :P Christian

game, This might be a stupid question, but did you enable your firewall? If you did, that might be blocking it Chris

You are in luck, I did the same thing three days ago! First of all, the drivers do work, and when they do the card is awsome! Did you try running fglrxinfo ? just start up a terminal and type it in. It should say Vendor: ATI Technologies, Inc If it says something like Messa then you are using software rendering. I remember, that the driver requires the Kernel Source header. It is on the third disk. If you open up MCC and go to software management, search for 'kernel' and you will find a package of the 2.6.4 kernel source. Install that, and run the command to configure them. (I can't remember the exact command..... i think it was ./configure in the dir /usr/src/ATI/, but I might be wrong.) Then reinstall the drivers. It should work :D Christian

Hrmm.... I am a Linux n00b, but recently upgraded my vid card from a *dare I say it* Intel on-board 32mb chip to the ATI All-In-Wonder 9600 pro. In windows, the install was a little tricky, but in linux, it was easy as hell! I just d/led the drivers, put them on CD, switched to Linux and followed the prompts. It took about 3 minuts to install :D . I don't really know what games everyone plays, but for the flight simulators I spend my time on, the ATI works better than the Geforce. (I know this, because the store had a demo of Combat Flight Simulator 3) The only thing you need to worry about with the 9600 and, I suppose the 9800 is the heat buildup in a small case. Christian
