Konsole has a text field where you can enter what command to execute. Everything I've ever read said that if you give the proper option to the shell, ie: ksh -l, you would get a login shell, but yet the dot file was never read. Luckily that changed with kde 3.5, as previously noted. > [snip] > ... > install whatever they want and compare the files.

Good idea. I've just moved all my customizations there, but it has no effect. I presume the whole point of all these configuration files is to have them read by modprobe. This brings up a couple of issues: If the way to achieve this is to run update-modules and thus have all the contents go to /etc/modules.conf, is there a non-obsolete way of doing this? The man page says that update-modules is obsolete. Second, update-modules ignores /etc/modprobe.d. It does, however, read the contents of /etc/modutils, so I put my 00local there. Even after all that, the kernel keeps insisting on loading the wrong module, specifically snd-cs46xx. I've added "blacklist snd-cs46xx", "install snd-cs46xx /bin/true" (per your other posting) and "snd-cs46xx off". None of this works and snd-cs46xx is still loaded. Of course the sound doesn't work until I manually unload snd-cs46xx and manually install snc-cs4231. The good thing is that the options (another line in 00local) are used correctly. Any ideas out there? Thanks. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
