Using r121 (Part 1)

After doing a lot of research and try out, there are some fixes that should be applied to start off:

1) [Fn] + [1,2,3,4] hot keys not working

To fix, modifiy /usr/X11R6/bin/startx

change the line from
defaultserverargs=" -nolisten tcp"
to
defaultserverargs=" -nolisten tcp -kb"

2) Xmms failed to play mp3

When try to play mp3 file in xmms, it complains with "failed to open audio output: eSound Output Plugin 1.2.10"



To fix:

Option 1:

It is found that you can solve this problem by issuing the command
> esdctl unlock

Xmms will be happy to play music now. So basically we need to add this command to the startup script to prevent this happening.

Option 2:

This is actually an easier solution, what you need to do is to change the XMMS plug-in settings (Option->Preferences, Audio I/O Plugins Tab).

Change the Output Plugin selection from eSound Output Plugin to either OSS Driver or ASLA output plugin.
