how do you disable hardware on linux?
 

i have onboard sound, which doesn't work and a sound card...

its picking up them both but is obviously using the one that doesn't work because... i hear no sound, how do i disable this sound card? or divert the sound to my PCI soundcard?

thanks

I don't think you can disable hardware, but I do know you can disable your onboard soundcard in the Bios. You should have a section called "Integrated Peripherals" or something similar.


Good luck.

thanks man!!!

i got the sound workin now and im really starting to like linux

i could do with working out how WINE works so i can use photoshop and stop using windows altogether

I'm getting accustomed to Gimp 2.0 . It's a lot like photoshop, which I know relatively well, but it does take a ton of getting used to as it's the little things that take time to learn. I'm not sure you will ever get Photoshop working fluentlty in WINE as WINE is designed to run simple programs that don't call on too many other files outside of the excutable, like solitaire and the original lemmings; I could be wrong though.

here is how to setup photoshop using wine

there is also cxoffice which makes it very easy to install photoshop and office xp but its not free

thanks for the link

i'll do it when i get wine running lol
