Okay I keep running into problems with realplayer and various games. After doing a lot of searching on the web I keep coming to infomation saying I should disable ARTS or esd. But I don't see where or how to do that. I'm running gnome on REDHAT 9 so far as I can tell I don't even have ARTS installed however I think I do have esd up only I don't know how to turn it off. Any help? -- Carl Parrish (cparrish@carlparrish.com) http://www.carlparrish.com --- Registered Linux User #295761 http://counter.li.org
