It's now 2 weeks later, I've asked in 2 different newsgroups, poked around every possible place on the net and still don't know how to permanenty disable the sound in X. How can Linux ever become a contender in the desktop marked if such a simple thing can't be accomplished?!? O. Wyss Which xfce4 packages have you installed? I ask as I had the same error message (freedesktop.org) some time ago and found I was missing a xfce4 package.
