    Things done in xfce4 are slow, why?

    Greetings, A couple of things come to mind as I read this. I wonder about your BIOS settings. What happens if you set everything to defaults. Then only change the settings that you absolutely have to. You appear to have problems with your IDE port settings - you noted CD issues as well as...

    Is there a slick way to deinstall Pulseaudio without buggering the system?

    Indeed. That is possible. But a bit brutal, and will ultimately lead to unsatisfied dependencies in the portsdb. Thanks for taking the time to reply vermaden.

    Is there a slick way to deinstall Pulseaudio without buggering the system?

    Understood. Although options are defined in it's conf files found under /usr/local/etc/pusleaudio. The problem appears to be that because pulseaudio is started upon session startup, it's manipulation of the sound env buggers it up so that other applications either can't gain access, or are...

    Is there a slick way to deinstall Pulseaudio without buggering the system?

    Thank you very much SirDice for taking the time to respond. I'm not sure why, but the 2 times I've installed pusleaudio as part od a fresh system install (KDE, the first time, and now GNOME), my sound doesn't work - not WM events, not any of the Media applications. The 2 times I performed a...

    Is there a slick way to deinstall Pulseaudio without buggering the system?

    Greetings, I'm afraid I inadvertently overlooked a checked box for pulseaudio on an install of Gnome2. SO of course I have no sound. :( I've spent a couple of days trying everything I could find - both here, and abroad to see if I could actually make pulseaudio function - to no avail. So now...

    Some Errors using Gnome 2.26

    D'oh! Did you perhaps forget: # mkdir -p /proc? You DID do this BEFORE you entered: # FileSystem TABulated entries proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 # Appears you use LINUX ABI linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 NOTE: you will NOT need to make the...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Thanks for the reply, zeiz. That's good advice, I'll go that route after I wipe this disk. I'd rather not attempt to untangle the mess I've already made. :P Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Greetings Adam, Thanks for your reply, and suggestion. Well, as it turns out, I've got it working - well, mostly. I bailed out of KDE, and tried to reconcile things while in XFCE-4.6.2. It was there that I found a different Mixer sound setup - It's from the KDE-3.5 branch. Hmmm. As I chose not...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    D'OH! That should have read: # cat /dev/random > /dev/pcm0 /dev/pcm0: Device busy. sigh...

    That should have read I hope it's not too big of a deal I substitute [CMD] Thanks again.

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Greetings DutchDaemon, I tried that originally. But no matter which browser I use, using the [CODE] tags, causes scrolling within the [CODE] section (a crollbar on the bottom, and one on the right). This makes it impossible to read the last (bottom) line within the [CODE] sections of peoples...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    # cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dsp0.0: Device busy. Performing the same on: /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp1.0 /dev/dsp2.0 causes the command not to return (^C required to end the command) The only sound related devices I now have are: /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp1.0 /dev/dsp2.0 /dev/mixer0...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Greetings carlton, and thank you for your response. FWIW I don't have a: /dev/dsp I do have: /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp1.0 /dev/dsp2.0 Is this an issue? I should first preface this by stating that I think that's good advice, and couldn't agree more. That said, in retrospect, I should...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Thank you for your reply DutchDaemon. That is a great link, to an even better script - no offense, but if you look closer at my posting of the output produced by a script I named "soundloader", you'll notice that it is the script referenced in the link you provided: Good call though. You are...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Thank you for your reply adamk. Thus far, I've only worked out of the KDE-4.4.4 env. Which currnetly anounces that PCM #0 is not functioning. The listing of devices that KDE acknowledges can be seen here: I have only attempted to produce sound within: System Settings > Multimedia >...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Thank you again SirDice. That has always been my understanding. I had had to work for 2 days straight w/o sleep, so my mind wasn't functioning very well, I'm afraid. Will do. I did read the man page for the driver. But I'll look it over again, now that I'm better rested. :) Thanks again...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Greetings SirDice, and thank you for your reply. Been there done that. In fact, I made a kernel with the following new declarations: # ADDING SOUND device sound # Intel High Definition Audio bridge device driver device snd_hda I posted output from dmesg(8) here In case it's not crystal...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    new kernel with driver but no sound Greetings, I built/installed a new kernel with the sound/sound driver declaration(s). The sound device shows up in dmesg(8). But I still have no sound. The output regarding the sound is a bit overwhelming. Would anyone dare to take a look, and suggest my...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Greetings, and thank you all for your thoughtful responses. I continued to search the forums after my last reply to phoenix. I eventually found the "magic" script in this thread. And of course you were correct; the output from running the script: # ./soundloader kldload: can't load...

    Is sound possible in Xorg on FreeBSD?

    Greetings phoenix, and thank you for your prompt reply. I did search the forms prior to asking. Problem is - you're correct, there are many, many posts. I was unable to figure which driver was best suited for FBSD. Olny that pulseaudio "sucked". So now I'm left wondering if I should use Arts...
