Hi All--
I decided to ditch RedHat and install Mandrake9 in an attempt to get myth
to work. I followed the HOW-TO for Mandrake in the cvs/docs and I've
gotten pretty far. Here's the deal:
I can run xwatv WITH sound. I can record sound on line-in via one of the
sound recording apps and it plays back fine.
However, when I launch 'mythtv' the system reboots! It doesn't just hang
it actually restarts the machine. Guess that this isn't proper behavior
for MythTV <grin> I'm looking for a little help from others using
Mandrake9.
First, I thought Mandrake9 uses ALSA be default. Is this correct? How
can I tell if I'm _actually_ using ALSA? Do I need to set up the proper
/dev/dsp or /dev/audio or /dev/snd? Does Mandrake do this automatically?
I think Mandrake9 might be using devfs...does anyone know if this is true,
and will it cause problems?
Any other helpful advice would be great.
Thanks!
