-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Andrew: I don't seem to be having the same kind of problems with the DS 3D 4000. However, configuring X was slightly touchy. I had to use a combo of xf86config and "touched it up" with XF86Setup I finally settled on 16 bps with 800x600, 1024x768, 640x480.

X and backspace (sometimes)

1999-10-13 Thread Lance Hoffmeyer
I have somewhat of an odd problem. In X some apps have a backspace capacity such as Xemacs and Gnome-terminal while others do not (Netscape, xterm). What might be causing this and what can I do to solve this problem? Lance

I knew about Esound, but I need something that: - Split input (microphone, etc) to multiple processes - Works with existing programs (eg. Quake) This is probably a wishlist item for ALSA, but I was wondering if anyone already knew on a *kernel* patch that does the mixing at the /dev/dsp level.
