I wonder if this is related to a problem I've had since a recent woody
upgrade: gnome and alsa seem to be the participants. As soon as I
switch on sound through the Gnome Control Centre, esd starts (seen via
GPS) but I then can't run any other gnome progs. Tried gmc,
Gnome-Terminal etc. If I kill esd, the stalled progs spring into life.
If I log out and try to log in again I just get the blank, nondescript
blue screen and the X cursor.
If I log in using icewm and then reset my gnome sound settings to off
(from a backup of ~/.gnome/sound - you can tell I've spent some time on
this - unsuccessfully:( ) I can then log in to a (quiet) gnome session
ok.
Tried: updating every day, moving to kernel 2.4 test5 (might as well
stay now;), re-compiling alsa-drivers. Haven't found any error messages
anywhere yet. I haven't tried compiling the drivers with diagnostics
yet - rather been hoping that a further update would fix it.
