anybody use mandrake linux 9.1 with soundblaster live?

[WarPiper]

If there are any users out there that use Mandrake linux 9.0 with a soundblaster live card, can some one please let me know if and how you got it to work, also if you know how to get hardware accelleration for a geforce 2 mx graphics card going, it would be a giant help if you can please direct me in the right direction.

Thanks

thanks I was talking about mandrake linux 9.1,  here is my problem, I am still kinda new to the linux thing.  Using the advice and opening Kmix, I un muted everything, and still no sound, during linux installation it said that I had the soundblaster audigy, (which I dont, I have the soundblaster live 5.1 platinum) so I chose the alternative and, so now I dont know how to change it back.  and for some reason I cant seem to log in as a root user to make the modifications, and when I click on configurations/hardware/harddrake, all I get is a spinning hour glass in the task menu then it goes away.

I know, I know, I must sound like a retart...  ...but if I knew it all, there would be no bill fakes, I mean gates.

when I click on KDE control center then go to system, them click on login manager then click administrator mode, nothing happens

I cant even get to the login manager to login as a root

I opened konsole, typed su, typed my pw, then closed console and clicked on log out, then restart, upon shutting down, something called susloth (I think) failed, then while rebooting, somthing else failed but then they system just loaded into the k desktop like normal, there was no menu to boot into root

mandrake 9.0 had a nice menu to chose user/destop/theme, but not 9.1

oh man

[WarPiper]

ok shlva, I am there using KSirc, crappy irc program

[WarPiper]

how or where is the kicker?

[WarPiper]

thanks

oh man, I am a complete windows and Amiga ONLY moron,  This whole thing is like a completely a differant language to me, looking at that site you sent me about the URPMI stuff is getting me lost for real

I never compiled anything except lint in my pockets,

If its not Amiga or windows commands in the shell, its not english to me

I have absolutly no clue what so ever as to what I am doing, I am even rethinking the whole linux thing over, again.

[WarPiper]

I have no idea how to clear my software sources list either

or to even close the Xserver thing

[WarPiper]

WOW WHAT A DIFFERANCE!!!!!

I have gotten both the sound blaster and the Geforce 2 graphics cards working with full 3d accelleration I am really really liking it, though i still think its still a pain to set up, setting up hardware for a system OS should not be so hard and cryptic (vi is a cryptic text editor, nothing like the amiga and windows editors), so....

...[color=CC0000]THANKS TO ALL THAT HAVE HELPED ME WHITH THIS LITTLE PROBLEM[/color][/b]

THIS IS WHY, EVEN THOUGH i DONT HAVE MY AMIGA'S ANYMORE i STILL KEEP COMMING BACK, THE AMIGA COMMUNITY IS STILL ONE OF THE COOLEST ONLINE COMMUNITIES THERE ARE.
