Thanks for the effort at least!

Alsa is loading normally on Run level 3.

It is actually working on the remote desktop now...

My problems are with the fact that if I don't set auto log in in either
kdm or gdm or whatever, then Display :1 wont load...maybe that is a run
level issue?  I will check..I'm like you...I know enough do be
dangerous! :)


The other item is probably security related. I can do su root in a
console but cant run Qjackctl or other progs. Claims "segmentation
fault". I may not need to run as root now though. The mm kernel I'm
using allows realtime modprobe. I did "modprobe realtime gid=501" for my
user account and jackit runs in realtime no problems.

Still, it would be nice to be able to run a file editor and browser as
root for modifying config files, etc...
