[mythtv-users] RE: NewB woes (continuing on....)

[James J Tucker]

Alright! Things are getting better! Using the command line sound tools, as 
in the docs, fixes all the sound problems!! For some reason, when i use 
gnome-alsa  mixer, it wouldnt take. The problem now is that the fixes dont 
appear to stay.
I did "alsactl store" (i had to type the full path (/usr/sbin?) for some 
reason), but when i reboot, i need to reset it via the command line again.
Any ideas?
Also, i have it configured to autologin my user, but Gnome is the default, 
and so it logs in to the wrong session type. I cant find the tool im used to 
in SuSe to configure this. What do i need to edit to make kde the default?
I am also having troble with my xorg.conf and tv out, but i am going to play 
with it a little longer before i admit defeat and ask you all. ;)
Thanks for everything so far, i was on the verge of going to a <gasp!> 
windows based pvr program, so this has realy pulled me away from the dark 
side.
cheers,
jim
