Suse has some kind of a 'sound subsystem' that gets started and tries to take over /dev/dsp. I get some sound out for a while, then it quits and I get an error message 'cpu overload - program error' I'll try to get more details later. norm ----- The Linux ThinkPad mailing list ----- The linux-thinkpad mailing list home page is at: http://www.bm-soft.com/~bm/tp_mailing.html
