P.S. On Mandriva 2006.0 'xpdf' is broken. So, being constructively lazy, I just replaced it with the one from Mandriva 10.2. Of course, I did this by picking Mandriva 10.2 'xpdf' RPM. That is, I reverted to older BINARY version. I believe that ALSA users should have the ability to simply revert to older binary version of ALSA as well. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
