My ancient Toshiba Tecra is now on-line with DSL 4.0-rc5 but without any sound. It worked in M$ win98...

BIOS settings say 'Soundblaster', 0x220, IRQ5, DMA1 so I tried
Code Sample
modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1
. This looks OK and the mixer starts but as soon as I 'play' anything it locks up!

Is there a lua gui for configuring sound? I can't find anything.

Cheers

See if this thread helps...

If you decide to try the alsa route then note v4.0 is using the same kernel as v2.1b so try the alsa4dslV2.dsl in the system section of the repository.

Neverless, I have script updated many extensions to add a resized 32x32 .xpm icon. The original 48x48 icon in .xtdesktop remains for continued compatibiliy with DSL 3.x and prior versions.

Now when 4.0 is loading an extension, either at boot up or dynamically a check is made to see if an xpm icon is in /tmp/mydsl.icons and if so the application specific one is used otherwise the fallback generic "open box" icon will be used.

So let me get this straight, future extension makers catering for
both 4.x and pre-4.x will put a 48x48 icon in .xtdesktop as usual, and add a 32x32 icon in /tmp/mydsl.icons/ ?

Yes this is correct.
I don't want to keep xtdesktop around anymore, can't go back and change what is out there. Don't want to stop supporting prior versions of DSL. And did not like a mix of 48x48 and 32x32. Afterall, DSL has an image to keep up. ;)

You can easily use the imagemagick extension /opt/imagemagick/bin/convert to resize and retype your images.

For spreadsheet, how would gnu Oleo do? The source is 780k and it uses Motif.

Haven't tried though, just came across googling..

its needed a menu to add direct-acces,icontools in before vers, because in the case that you have a wireless mouse and keyboard its impossible to drag and copy to desktop the program icons. (you have to type Simultaneously shift in keyboard and click with the mouse with the same wireless channel at least in my pc)

Are you saying your pc accepts only one or the other signal at one time? Wow, that's really bad design.
Have you tried a right-click on the desktop? You should be able to create an icon that way.
