:Dear readers,
: I think this could be of some interest, therefore...
:I just have tried xquake again, after a kernel and an xquake upgrade...
:This is sillier than ever, since the program ran well the first time I
:launched it, but stops with a SEGV the second time I try running it...
:
:Maybe I'm wrong, but this sounds like a problem for vhand's patch, which I
:understand runs only with 2.1... Maybe some more kmalloc tweak missing?
:I'll have to reboot in a couple of days, and could put in an instrumented
:kernel, if it might help some way...
I have had this problem as well with a 233 MMX at home running 2.0.30, 31
or 32. I've tried the Linux kernel sound drivers, the OSS drivers, no
sound, no lan, rebooting, modules vs. compiled in drivers and none of it
really seems to make a difference. I swear, it used to work. :)
