What version of FreeBSD are you > running? What audio card do you have? Do you sound working at all? Hmm... Well, I've got FreeBSD 2.2-stable as of May 22, with a SB16 PnP card and the Voxware drivers, and all I could get was "can't open device". However, I decided to try the Luigi drivers, and just got done setting them up, and now realplayer 5.0 seems to work fine. Are the Luigi drivers needed to run realplayer? I though from reading the message archives that either driver set would work, but maybe I was misinterpreting them. Anyhow, are the Luigi drivers the way to go nowadays? I'm fairly strongly interested in keeping up w/ the current reccommended practices of FreeBSD, since I'm both using it at home for myself, and, perhaps more critically, supporting it for a number of people here within the department. (People have been fairly well impressed so far w/ FreeBSD, so I really want to track down these sorts of things to keep them happy.) ________________________________________________________________________ Dr. William R.
