[luau] Mandrake 9 & Geforce4 MX420

[Eric Hattemer]

My sound driver and your sound driver are probably two completely
separate issues.  Mine is the nforce integrated sound.  It has the same
device descriptor as an i810, I think.  However, the i810 driver causes
it to hardlock.  So nvidia made a driver called nvaudio, which is a
modified version of the i810.  In order to get mdk to boot, you need to
go into interactive, tell it not to start service sound.  Then edit
/etc/modules.conf and replace i810 with nvaudio.  Compile the nforce
package from the nforce driver section at nvidia.com.  Reboot, and when
it starts up service sound, it automatically finds the nvidia module and
doesn't lock.  But I have no idea of what sound card you have or whether
you're having issues with it.  I have alsa installed, but I don't think
mdk is making use of it.  In fact, I'm not even sure its using arts in
kde.  Its quite odd.  I only get one sound ever, and two sound programs
have to compete.  I think its using soundwrapper, which I don't know
anything about.  But its functional, and that's all that really counts. 
I just can't get sound in aim and xmms at the same time.
