Netscape and Esound

How do I get Netscape to make sounds through esd? I have everything else working through Esound - my voice synth, CD player and mp3s, but I can't make Netscape work :( bekj -- : Usual state: (e) None of the above. : [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tertius.net.au/~gossamer/ : It can't rain all

DVDs

Through fortuitous means, I just acquired a DVD player! I've looked at the DVD HOWTO and it recommends a whole bunch of software from the LiVID project. Is any of this software packaged up for Debian/unstable anywhere? I don't mind building it by hand, but not if there's packages out there. I

X4 scrolling

After I've upgraded from X3 to X4.0.3 the edges of the screen don't scroll anymore. For example if I set the virtual screen size to 800x600 and the resolution to 640x480, which isn't uncommon, I used to be able to scroll to the 'hidden' bits of the screen by pushing the mouse at the edge of the sc

Printer problemss

My printer - a DJ500 - used to work perfectly. I don't print very often, so I'm not sure -exactly- when it stopped working, but it was probably when I upgraded the kernel from 2.2.14 to 2.2.17. I can't see anything in the changes file that is relavant though. I have the right modules loaded:

I'm not sure of the proper incantations to run both IceWM (the gnome-compliant version) and Gnome. My instinct was this: /usr/bin/gnome-session & exec icewm-gnome But I end up with -two- toolbars on top of each other, which is rather dim. What's the proper? bekj -- : --Hacker-Neophile-Ecl
