Dear List,
I have an IBM Aptiva that I use as a thin client (using a boot floppy).
It has an onboard PCI soundcard. The sound card uses the ESS Solo1
driver in Windows, (booting without the floppy) and loads the esssolo1
when booted as a client.
The sound seems to work OK in all but a few apps. One example is
tuxmath. When I run tuxmath from a terminal, there error is:
/dev/sequencer : device not found
(or something _very_ similar - don't have it in front of me right now)
and then sound starts to come out the speakers of the server.
Right now, my lts.conf file has the following:
[192.168.0.2]
X_MODE_0 = 800x600
# Need sound info, sound card loaded, but /dev/sequencer could
# not be found
SMODULE_01 = "esssolo1"
SMODULE_02 = "snd-seq-device"
SMODULE_03 = "snd-seq-midi"
Since this will be going into a pre-school room, they really want/need
the sound to work. And I actually have 4 identical machines that will
go into the setup. (So the room will have 1 'white box' server with
1.0Ghz, 512MB RAM, and 4 IBM Aptiva clients)
So does anyone have experience with this machine/card as a client
and know how to get the /dev/sequencer identified?
