(That is: any at all ;) Figured out that I had some "other" problems with alsa, jack, etc. I can get this to produce sound now. But in the same conversation...I have vnc starting on boot as Display :1. I notice following that leaves it a tad short of what I think I need... 1/ If I don't let display :0 log in, it seems alsa is not initialized, or at the least is not available to display :1 2/ Can log as root (su root) in a shell but cant seem to run anything from it. Qjackctl claims "segmentation fault" Konqueror and kwrite claim some kind of crash. I know there are security issues that are in place for the likes of this. What can be done to eliminate them if anything? thanks > > Ciao
