I upgrade my i386 machine with the gnome rpm's and some components are now not working. 1. I have sound for Gnome but other applications do not work. The specific applications are xgalax and Civilization Call to Power. Civilization now runs slow and galax disappears after a couple of seconds. 2. Screen saver no longer works. I just get blank screen and the test will not work either to demonstrate the selected screensaver. KDE screensavers still work. So do KDE sounds. Both features were working well before the errata upgrade Feel free to email responses or questions to mookie_black
The screensaver probably isn't running because the screensaver's don't run as root ; that they did in 6.0 was a bug. As for applications running without sound, it's because esd is running; you either need to suspend esd or kill it before running those programs.
