a whole bunch of questions
When trying to start emacs out of a xterm with su permissions the
system complaines:
MINI:/home/rland# emacs
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.
MINI:/home/rland# emacs
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.
MINI:/home/rland# cd ~
MINI:~# xhost
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
...whereas launching emacs as a ordinary user (rland) works fine. What
exactly should I edit to allow su doing the same?
The error recommends to use "xhost" - but this seems to be a GUI app
and therefore dies for the same reasons as previously launching emacs.
How can I help myself, would running xhost fruit in a working GUI when
changing to su?
Then, I cannot get my Diamond Sonic Impact 90 to work. gtcd starts,
accepts the CD, playes the first track but the speakers remain
quitely.
The linuxdoc howto states no support for this card but the distributer
SuSe maintaines a database which plots out:
these cards should be supported by Aureal and OSS
look at http://linux.aureal.com/
CHIPSET - AU8820
When installing deb2.2 I marked the OSS driver as a module and now
I cannot really track the problem.:

Which line could relate to the soundcard? Additionally there is a line
Oct 23 15:06:13 MINI kernel: hdd: ATAPI 2X CD-ROM drive, 240kB Cache
whereas the first line tells me:
Oct 23 15:06:13 MINI kernel: hdd: STINGRAY 8422 IDE 8X CD-ROM 7-27-95,
ATAPI CDROM drive
Should I bother about the 2x speed, how can I bench the speed of a
CDrom drive?
Then searching in /etc/modules:
rland@MINI:~$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with
# a #, and everything on the line after them are ignored.
ide-floppy
autofs
binfmt_misc
nfs
nfsd
vfat
smbfs
ntfs
sound
videodev
rtl8139
fbcon-cfb32
rland@MINI:~$
...which states there should be somewhere a sound module, but
cat /etc/modules.conf|grep -A 4 sound
returnes no output.
Does dselect build up a database for all indexed packages? I cannot
find wine by running "dpkg -l wine" or "dpkg -l | grep wine" although
the debian installation routine was fed by all 4 CD's. Neither does
dpkg seem to support a query routine simular to rpm.
Would someone kindly help in these questions?
Robert
