On my Dell Latitude ls, the sound card is shared with the video. I have had issues using the OSS drivers after X starts since often the X server grabs all the memory for itself. The way around this I have found is to start sound in console or before starting X.
If I started sound while X is running, X would seize up or sound would just fail to start. Perhaps this is not the issue with your laptop though. -- Michael Perry | do or do not. There is no try. -Master Yoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lnxpowered.org
