in an effort to minimize the number of computers i carry around with me (!) i recently installed gentoo onto my new apple powerbook 1.5ghz. it's a new world for me, being used to planet-ccrma on my on my sharp-mv12w. so before i ask a million questions: does anybody else use gentoo-ppc with working sound? i'm having a tough time with it. slightly more specifics: how do you deal with realtime? ppc uses /dev/rtc and how-to's say not to compile kernel for enhanced RTC. jack 0.98 and alsa 1.0.5 installed, kernel is 2.6.4 even qjackctl installed! yay. but jack can't connect to the client, or even if i manage to get settings that will connect and alsa pcm of hw:0 shows up in the connections, no sound comes out. anyway... thanks if anybody can help// -- _________________________________________________________________ Jonathan Segel -- MAGNETIC -- PO Box 460816 S.F.
