Description Pat Gunn 2003-08-20 10:47:50 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

Description of problem:
I have a user who's using WindowMaker, and have found that
gnome-session, instead of gdm, is doing some hardware (soundcard,
specifically) initialization, so I need to do a root login before
the user logs in locally in order for sound to work properly.
gdm should be doing this, so the user can choose their window
manager.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.4.1.3-8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot up
2.Login with a nonprovided window manager
3.See things not work
4.Get frustrated
    

Actual Results:  Sound did not work

I don't know of any sound card setup in gnome-session. 
Can you give details on how you are testing sound and what 
error messages you see if any?

Comment 2 Pat Gunn 2003-08-29 10:35:51 EDT

I'm sorry -- with additional testing, it turns out to be unrelated to
the root login -- it's just that the driver for my sound card sometimes
doesn't initialize things correctly.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2003-08-29 11:48:53 EDT

OK, thanks. Sounds like a kernel issue.
