Comments/Problems:
I've only had one problem with this install, but it's been a doozy. With
luck, you'll be able o help me out with it... I have no audio output.
When I boot into a KDE shell, I get an error:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied)
I have had sound working correctly on this system in the past (with many
different flavours of linux). I'm using a Cirrus Logic |Crystal cs4281
PCI audio controller. (Built into the motherboard.)
I was also dissapointed to find the video driver wasn't explicitly
supported (but I do have a kludge that works). I"m using a 3d Rago Pro
AGP 1x/2x. Some linuxes (SuSE) support it, and some don't. *Shrug*
Assuming I can get sound on this system, there are two other computers I
want to try sarge out on...
