Yes, in the make menuconfig there is a option that you can enable for the
Ensoniq Soundscape card. However, where the problem seems to come
from is the MPU-401 conflict. I have also enabled this in the setup and
kenerl builds but it still dosnt work

It is an IDE tape drive set off the floopy controler.

I opted to add MetroX in the inital install of RH 4.0. After a bootup I ran
the configX.curses and configX. Selected the Matrox MGA Mill. 4meg
card and chose 1024x768 at 16bit. The Gateway Vivitron is built by MAG.
So in the monitor list I chose the MAG that fit the monitor I have. (I
THINK)
See here is a problem the RH Tech guys should be telling me. Am I
in fact using the right config for this monitor. Anyway, when I run MetroX
in a mode higher than 800x600 the scree turns into what looks like a
waterfall.
