I was tring to get alsa configured for my IBM A21m. I keep getting an error when I try to make the packages. I'm not getting anywhere with this. I'm running with a home-brew of the 2.4.9 kernel and somewhere during that install I ran into problems building the modules for the pcmcia stuff. Now

kde2 sound problem

2001-10-09 Thread Tom Allison
I found something useful on my sound problem on KDE. I opened an xterm and typed kde2 -h to see what my options are ... well kde started again. But it threw an interesting error: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied). but the ls -l shows the permissions to be lrwxrwxrwx bleah!

sound - sometimes

I am using a kernel sound module for my notebook (cs46xx). I can get the sound to work. But yesterday while playing around I started up KDE (as root) from the command line - I normally use 'kdm'. I was greeted with all kinds of sound effects - startup sounds, clicky sounds, windows open/close

IBM A21m IRDA support

According the HOWTO - I have to boot into Windows and make sure that the IRDA is turned on/ enabled before I can set it up in Linux. Does anyone know if this is still true and if there is another (non-Windows) solution to this? I am not sure I have Win98 on my computer any more and would hate
