For your problem about your screens, we need to implement Xinerama, for the moment, you can still play in windowed mode :)

About your soundcard, since it's a Creative card, don't you have hardware accelerated drivers for Linux ?

already found a solution via google, nvidia has an option called metamode. looks for example like that:

Option         "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1920x1200 +0+0, DFP-2: 1280x1024 +1920+0;DFP-0: 1920x1200 +0+0, DFP-2: NULL"

now applications see as an option 1920x1200 and no second monitor, and if it is enabled the second monitor just gets black. and the best thing: applications set to the second monitor (like konsole or amarok) remember their position and do not "crash" into the first screen :).

with 2.6.33 (or maybe a version earlier or later) snd_ctxfi has been accepted into the linux kernel (which was my original reason to compile my own kernel, because ubuntu 10.4 had 2.6.32 and no driver for emu20k2).

but about the device number switching, looks like blacklisting the driver (snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi) didn't help because the soundcard can also be controlled through snd_hda_intel which just got loaded instead. so i'll blacklist that one too, reboot and look what happens to sound in ryzom :).

so, fullscreen just works perfect now.

the rogue sound card is away, too, but still no sound with ryzom.

but i see the following lines in log.log:

any idea?
