we have a 133 pentium (asus pipe-line cache and edo ram), SMC power
ethernet, meteor, GUS MAX, Logitech mouse (tried it as a serial and PS/2
with no change), ISA ATI Mach 64 video [yeah it should be a PCI
video but we needed the fourth PCI slot and the only X I could get to work with
this ISA card is the SVGA server :( ] that locks up when vat and X are
running at the same time. a person can wail on the machine if one or the
other is running but put them together and it locks up.

I even pulled down Amanico's new sound drivers. it took me a while to
find the fine print that says GUS MAX should link /dev/audio to /dev/audio1.
By the way I could play all I want with new drivers with /dev/audio linked
to /dev/audio0, I simply got no sound.

***inbedded documentation question for Jim Lowe, just to see if he is
***paying attention: the information about the new sound drivers looks
***easy enough for me to add to my multimedia web page, is it still
***true that vmix does not work with the new sound drivers or was that
***changed with your newest sources?

there shouldn't be an IRQ duplication. The DOS setup liked IRQ 5 and DRQ 1 and
3. The sound card works great (for hours) when X is not running. When I was
running the FreeBSD-2.1.0-RELEASE sound code, I even pulled out the ISA Mach
64, and put in a PCI Mach 64 with the acellerated server and it ran much longer
and took more mouse abuse, but evenually the sound card started to whistle and
the machine locked up. I used the mouse as a serial and as a PS/2 mouse, no
difference.

I guess someone is going to tell me to pull the edo memory because edo and
pipeline caches are bad, I will do this tommorrow. can anyone think of
anything else?

       /dev/sndstat with new drivers.
