Xgmod Information

Latest version is 3.1, released 97SEP01. AWE support is here!

As you can see, Xgmod has not been updated for a few years. Version 3.1 will most likely be the last version released.

Xgmod is a module player with an X interface for Linux. It requires a GUS card or an AWE card and version 3.0 or later of the OSS/Free (USS/Lite, VoxWare, TASD) driver. A non-X version is also included in the distribution.
