Trouble? Contact > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Don't worry about making a display of what you don't know. Unless you deal with a basic reality, you deny yourself the chance to improve on the situation. You seem to know more than me for a start, doesn't that make you feel better? Don't take what I am about to say as gospel for that reason. But, I don't know if oss and alsa work in concert together, I think that the one replaces the other in function. Alsaconf and modconf may be able to clarify a couple of things for you. I dont need the displays, so I don't know about those, but 'synth' enablizing may be able to assist there also. Isn't there anybody out there that can help a couple of newbies?
