Ah-hah. That did it...almost. :) Just plugging in the speakers didn't help, I had to play around with aumix to turn up the volume. I could only do it on command line, because the speaker control is screwed (120,103...) So, after doing an "aumix -p 75 -v 75" I had audio. And now, I'm going to file a bug against aumix. :) > i have a blue G3 too and if i plug headphones into the sound out on > the back i can hear the system beep and anything i dump into > /dev/audio.

Thanks for that help...now, about your G3 (or anyone else with a B&W) am I correct in recalling that Xfree3.3.6 doesn't have accelerated support for the Rage128? Or am I missing something... Ethan...do you have your B&W XF86Config setup properly to allow for mode changes? I appear to be stuck in 1024x768x75hz, (the last resolution I used under MacOS) and if I try to change it, X hangs the machine...it's just luverly. :) Any one point me in the right direction, at least? I always try to RTFM before I ask questions, but that kind of requires me to find a manual to read. :) -Jeremiah Merkl
