Setting up Sound and Graphics

The graphical installation should have been done when you installed Linux, but if you want to change some settings you might need to change the setup. Both sound and graphics can be setup fairly easily using the setup command. As root run type:

bash# setup

If you want to change the graphics settings then you need to select X configuration. For sound select the Sound card configuration. If you do not want to run the setup utility you can run the configuration programs from the shell using these two commands:

bash# Xconfigurator

Or

bash# sndconfig

Sometimes the sound configuration does strange things when it probes. If this is the case with your sound card then you might want to use the noprobe option:

bash# sndconfig --noprobe

Once you have the configuration done you are ready to use the multimedia capabilities of your machine.
