ATI + sound...

    Hello everyone,

    I salute the tremendous work of the development team and I thank 
them. I hope the spirit of this team will always remain, just as one who 
leads the project "Damned Small Linux", for exemple.

    I hope to permanently abandon my Suse 10.3 + KDE 3.5.10, and is keen 
to stay with KDE 3.5 TDE Trinity.

    The issues regarding this that I have with the "Trinity-Enterprise" 
distribution (kubuntu 10.10) are:
SOUND:
    I have no sound. KMix opens with the mixer "PulseAudio" by default 
and I have to reconfigure each time in VIA_8237. Also, I use the entry 
"Line" physical and when the configuration is correct, this input is 
sent to the audio output of the computer and the level of output (input 
signal from the "Line", so) is well controlled. But there is no sound 
from TDE that is audible (noatun or amarok, for example)
VIDEO:
    I can not install the drivers for my ATI graphics card. The various 
tutorials found all refer to the Gnome menu.

    These difficulties are well borring, but I can wait for the next 
distribution,hopping that Gnome will  coexistwith TDE, which will allow 
easier "Ubuntu like" configurations of the system.

    Good luck to everyone,
Patrick
