[Sheflug] Nvidia & sound stuff - ta :)

[Paul Sims <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry it's taken me so long to say thanks to those who responded to my
plea for help in getting sound and Nvidia accelerated drivers/glx
working on my Mandrake 8.0 box, especially Matt Palmer.

For those who may be interested, I believe I had 2 probs. One was a
problem with PCI irq steering, where my Advansys scsi card was being
force-fed irq9 when it wanted irq11. And secondly, bunging in a genuine
Soundblaster PCI128 cleared what appeared to be a driver conflict. So
now, 3-D is zooming along with Ice Cube being "interestingly verbal" in
the background. Yippee!

Paul.

ps. I'm getting quite attached to Mandrake 8.1.........
