    Hey,

    I installed debian testing onto my laptop, i have setup my wm and got it
    how i want now (thanks to the list for that :)) ummmm but i have another
    problem...

    The sound card on the laptop didnt work right off... and from previous
    experiance with it on other distro's i know/knew i had to add it to
    modprobe.conf and install alsa (from apt) so i did so.

    The problem is that now the touchpad/track point (little stick in the
    middle of keyboard) has disappeard... before i put the entry into
    modprobe.conf i did a cat /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice and both was
    outputting things.

    but now i have added the sound card to modprobe.conf i have lost them,
    when i try to do a cat /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice i just get
    something about not finding the device...

    so the question is really how can i have sound AND mouse on the same
    system.

    The system is a HP Omnibook 4150
    Cpu P2 300mhz,
    368Mb Ram,
    4gb Drive,
    Soundcard is a cs4236 (i think, i cant check at the moment as i am not at
    home)

    It runs on a neomagic 256 chipset, but the neomagic sound card driver
    doesnt work, i know from trying before :)

    Any help would be great!!

    Thanks
    Grant.

    ps = if i remove the entry from modprobe.conf the mice/mouse works
    fine... but with no sound.
