X86_64 FC2 problems on ASUS K8V SE Deluxe system

[David McCormick]

I have an Athlon Amd64-FX system on a Asus SK8N and also have Nauilus 
fail on login. I also found that the desktop preferences application 
fails when seletcted.  With sound I have a Soudblaster Live 5.1 which 
works with program sounds but wont play music CD's.  I think that these 
are Gnome problems rather than Fedora Core.  The sound problem is one I 
have had with 32 bit and 64 bit Fedora from the First release on.  I am 
running the X86_64 FC-2. Does anyone have any suggestions?
