Sorry I didn't reply for a while... but here's something for you to look into:
In the directory you run UAE from (more than likely your home directory) look for a file called .uaerc
This is a config file that UAE will read it's config from.. in there you can turn on your audio.
Alternatively, boot UAE with it's interface (not full screen) - use the GUI to set up your configs till you're happy with them and save the config (.uaerc) and then boot full screen from there on in.
Personally I copied UAE to a local bin directory and wrote some shell scripts to set me up properly. I also put my home directory as a local drive, so to change config I load up a text editor, modify, reboot.
Never leave UAE.
(Hmm maybe I should write a little amiga GUI frontend for this.....)
Another interesting dirty trick.
Don't run UAE full screen at all (personal pref here, I don't like linux programs running as root).
Instead run with a minimal window manager - something like AmiWM -- or alternatively no WM at all. Boot up this configuration from a shell script (mine is simply called goami) -- setup UAE with the same screen res as you run Xwindows at.
Under Xwindows (with no WM) it looks as it if it is running at fullscreen - under AmiWm you have a 'Amiga screen bar' at the top of your screen (pull down that screen and have a Linux WB running behind it)..
Why would you do this? Well it all works together for the ultimate dirty trick:
Set up a crontab task and a shell script to check a subdirectory every minute or so (up to you how often) and execute whatever scripts it finds in there (this is why you DON'T run UAE as root -- and I'm currently working on a way to do this that isn't a security nightmare
) - make 'start scripts' for your fave 'can't live without' linux progs -- Your fave webrowser, xmms, whatever...
From the amiga side, make scripts that copy these "starters" to the "execution draw" and link them to icons (tool of your choice).
Result - you hit a button on your WB in UAE - 30 secs later you get Mozilla running.
If you use AmiWm, it's window sizing gadgets will look like WB 2.0 - so you're not distracted.
It's cheap, it's dirty, it's fun.
Siggy
