The main problem with your hardware is the rarity of them. I did also have the x-fi card and worse yet i had digital input speakers. The way i did it was installing the creative drivers. If you do want to play games wine does not have good dx support, and if you don&#39;t mind cedega does support games better but it does cost 50 bucks a year.<div>

Im getting ready to roll linux back onto my main desktop, however<br>
previously i had some issues getting things to run gracefully under<br>
wine with the Radeon 2900Xt i have in here. or with the Creative X-Fi<br>
for sound. the on-board works, but well its on-board and sucks<br>
(audiophile without budget).<br>
<br>
This was all running ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 later. are there any other<br>
distributions that people can suggest that might have a littel better<br>
interaction with these slightly recalcitrant devices?<br>

rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.<br>
