Coming from Software Forum:
There's some strange stuff going on. Recall my earlier posts
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=109619
My soundcard works from text mode (with X running), but not from an X session.
-Boot computer
-At gdm login, open a text console (ctrl-alt-f1) and login
-Go back to X (ctrl-alt-f7) and fail-safe-login
In the text console I can play an mp3 (with mpg123) while I can't play an mp3 from the fail-safe xterm.
In the text console, 'lspci -v' gives me:
02:0d.0 VGA compatible unclassified device: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08)
Subsystem: Creative Labs CT4832 SBLive! Value
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 7
I/O ports at d400 [size=32]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
In the fail-safe xterm 'lspci -v' gives me:
02:0d.0 VGA compatible unclassified device: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08)
Subsystem: Creative Labs CT4832 SBLive! Value
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 7
I/O ports at d400 [disabled] [size=32]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
Note that in the latter case, the I/O ports are apparently disabled.
How is it possible that the device is disabled *within* X, while at the same time it's not disabled from a text console, i.e. I can switch to a text console while X is running and play an mp3 while I can't play the same mp3 from an xterm or otherwise (within the X session)?
It doesn't matter if I start KDE, Gnome or a fail-safe session, the card doesn't work (is disabled), but does work fine from a text console.
Thanks
