Hi folks!

I'm currently running a Debian 2.2 system (with kernel 2.4.4) on my TP i200
(serial 1161-41G).

All worked well (apart from that pretty winmodem ;^/ ) until I upgraded the
Gnome desktop to version 1.4.
In console all is ok, but I can't get the esound demon to work properly
anymore.

First I tried the OSS modules, and after some minute any event sound would
hang the entire desktop. Killing the esd process did unfreeze all the
windows, but I realized that wouldn't be a nice solution for the problem...

So I installed the ALSA driver from source and things went worst. Starting
the esound demon takes a pair of minutes or so and no sound at all comes
from the demon, while everything works fine in console and even Xmms with
the OSS plugin "sounds good".

Any suggestion? Did anyone experience the same problem?

Thanks.
Cesare.
