Regardless of whether you run sdoom or xdoom, it is looking for a program that is running the sound. If you don't have a Linux-compatible sound device configured, the sound program fails. The main executable for doom keeps sending requests to the sound program, but eventually fails. I fixed this on my system by renaming the sound program! The startup can't find the executable, but continues to run the game silently. Check the directory /usr/games/doom. You will probably find the file called sndserver. Rename it to sndserver.save, and see what happens. Hopefully, this will work for you. For the curious, this makes xdoom run across a network onto an ordinary X-terminal! Disgusting :-) ------------------ Bruce Drake Synectics, Inc. (919) 872-1275 USA
