I have more dumb newbie questions. I would kind of like to get FreeBSD configured to use as an MBone platform [it seems very well configured as is for straight Unix/server things]. So, that means X, video in windows, sound play, and eventually video capture, sound send.] I have an SB16 PnP, and, I had to install the PnP patch/ mods in order to get in to work (on IRQ 5 - it seemed to be confused about whether it was on IRQ 7 or 5). Now, it works, but, the audio out quality via vat is pretty scratchy. If there are other vat/mbone users out there: Is this a driver problem or an audio library problem or a vat problem or ...? Any fixes? Also, the vat volume control doesn't work. Is this a vat problem, a Tk problem, a driver problem, or ...? Fixes? Also, it seemed to crash the X server once. This system has a #9 Motion 771 FX PCI card. Are there any likely conflicts there? Also, has the PnP patch been incorporated in subsequent releases (at level - ?). Have there been driver or audio library mods in subsequent releases (at level - ?) Sorry if these questions are silly, but hopefully in the future I will be able to ask more informed questions. -- Hugh LaMaster, M/S 258-5, ASCII Email: hlamaster@mail.arc.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center Or: lamaster@nas.nasa.gov Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 No Junkmail: USC 18 section 2701 Phone: 415/604-1056 Disclaimer: Unofficial, personal *opinion*.
