xmms and monitor...didnt know they were related??

[mikeylikesitz]

Not real sure why, but on a fresh install of SuSe 7.0, when i try to load XMMS, my screen goes black and i get the monitor error message "Monitor is working propery" "Out of scan range". I didnt know they were related?!?! When it happeneds i have no choice but to hit the almighty reset button and start again. I tried to get to the files in CLI but when ever i try anything even remotely to do with XMMS i get this problem. Id like to try to fix this problem but i cant even get close without it throwing a fit!! My monitor works fine in X and no other problems with 3D rendering except this one. Im at a loss http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/frown.gif http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/confused.gif

Easy.

rm -f /path/to/xmms

That should solve your problem.

tried that, and i got the same thing http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/confused.gif Its like if XMMS gets the idea that im thinking about doing anything with it, it does that. Is this thing posessed?? Im waiting for this thing to get up and slap me...geez

[mikeylikesitz]

still at a loss, i tried upgrading and still have the same problems...geez

this wont help your xmms situation but try freeamp.I think the site is freeamp.org ??

Ok try and edit ~/.xmms/config where the line says enable_dga=TRUE
change to enable_dga=FALSE
if that doesn't work the other fix is to change a property of your window manager.The line is
USESAVEUNDERS=XXXX
make shure you put NO there if its yes.
Its in different places depending on which window manager you use so a little hunting will be in order.

None of those lines were in there...if i knew how to post it in here i would. Oh well, ill try something else. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif
