suprising since I now play Quake 3 under Linux.) You could try libesd-alsa0 instead of libesd0. (My onboard Via sound is supported through Alsa, if this doesn't apply to you, ignore me!) I might also try using different kernels for Debian and RedHat. Grab the latest source, and then apt-get install alsa-source. To compile your kernel, use make-kpkg. To make things really easy, you should be able to borrow the config for your current kernel. (My config is at /boot/config-2.2.17 after installing a kernel.) The steps to make-kpkg go something like this: make menuconfig make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image make-kpkg modules_image (this builds extra modules in /usr/src/modules. The Debian packages for lm-sensors, alsa-source, i2c, and PCMICA extract to /usr/src/moduels.) cd /usr/src dpkg -i kernel-image-version.deb modules-image-version.deb Cross fingers and reboot. -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055
