One clue might be is that the pulseaudio volume control doesn't see all installed audio devices, and apparently hijacks whatever is fed to my Audigy 2 and redirects it to the nforce ac97 stuff on the mobo, which I have setup, or did have, for use with one of the internet telephones, and there is a headset plugged into that. But that's a minor detail if skype-twinkle-etc doesn't work ATM, I have much more pressing problems cuz init isn't running /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local at bootup for some unk reason, so I have to run it by hand after login to start all the background stuff I run here. I will try selinux=0 on the kernel argument line on the next reboot and see if that fixes it. Back to PA. Is there a place, a conf file that controls this? Or is it just terminally dumb and deserves to be put down? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
