can u post your XF86Config file ?
it should have "nvidia" not "nv" as your driver for your video card.
add:
Load "glx"
remove:
Load "dri"
Load "GLCore"
that should be all you need. |

support for your agp chipset compiled into your kernel?
something's stuffed
unmerge and re-merge nvidia drivers? |

culpret found!!!!! anyone experiencing similar prob's see following
after extensive searching and trial and error this is what i had to do:
1. recompile kernel with oss support enabled
2. in kde open control center, click on sound then sound server, there is a checkbox to start arts when kde starts, UNCHECK this box, click the apply button and let sound server restart (if sound doesn't come back should after rebooting computer).
3. had to change xmms and mplayer both to use oss sound output drivers (arts worked with xmms but didn't show up as option with mplayer no matter what I did (oss and and arts would NOT cooperate on my system ie.. I couldn't use arts for xmms and oss for mplayer))
after doing these steps my mp3's play, my video's play, and games (so far) are working.......kinda funny all this time I've been suspecting video prob's and it was sound all along that was throwing a monkey wrench into everything
thanks to everybody in different post and threads for helping with this........I don't know if this is a bug or just my stupidity, if the former please let me know so I can fill out bug report, if later pls try not to laugh too hard
search terms:
oss arts xmms alsa mplayer video games sound |
