Sawfish blocking X....
Hello
i allready posted that i had some problems with my xsession taking ages
to become ready, blocking the whole machine for minutes....
i am using default gnome session of gdm as coming from fresh debian
install....
noticed a thing, with enlightment i haven't those hughe setup times, but
maybe its not sawfish's fault, i noticed that enabling sound on
enlightment produced a freeze of that process...
after trying to load this by hand i got the following:
first checked modules:
lsmod
Module Size Used by
es1371 25344 0 (unused)
sound 57600 0 (unused)
soundlow 448 0 [sound]
soundcore 2640 7 (autoclean) [es1371 sound]
which seems ok, noticed that module sb doesn't work for me despite
having a (PCI) low level soundblaster card found a working module with
the sledgehammer method:
for i in *; do modprobe `basename $i .o` ; done and looked what
loaded.....
so if someone has a better suggestion.... anyways could play a .au file
without prob, so sound is IMHO working..... but:
bboett@kalman:~$ esd
Unable to connect to UNIX socket /var/run/esound/socket
and gnome relies on that daemon AFAIK..... any idea? and is this thing
the cause of the sawfish blockout?
