If you running running FC1 with the 2.6 kernel then you need to do some
work....
First step as root create a sys directory (mkdir /sys) and either modify
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit or modify /etc/fstab for this new directory(sysfs);
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit modification(first few lines are where to edit);
# Mount /proc (done here so volume labels can work with fsck)
#update_boot_stage RCproc
action $"Mounting proc filesystem: " mount -n -t proc /proc /proc
action $"Mounting sys filesystem: " mount -t sysfs none /sys (the line
to add)
/etc/fstab modification(add the following line entry);
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
Install the ALSA RPM's and configure (/etc/modules.conf) for your sound
card; http://www.alsa-project.org/
Next create the /etc/modprobe.conf file (assuming that you have the latest
modutils RPM installed). Running with the 2.4 kernel, as root, type
something like; /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf
(Do this after you get ALSA installed and working with the 2.4 kernel)
And still as root add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (this is needed
for both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with ALSA sound);
# Restore the default defined AlSA volume levels
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1;
And if you want (optional) the speaker 'beeps' add;
# Restore the PC Speaker beeps
/sbin/modprobe pcspkr
Then create a /etc/aumixrc file, example below;
vol:85:85:P
pcm:85:85:P
speaker:85:85:P
line:85:85:P
mic:85:85:R
cd:85:85:P
igain:85:85:P
line1:85:85:P
phin:85:85:P
video:85:85:P
Adjust the defined levels to suit you.
Your mouse problem might be solved modifying the 2.6 kernel boot option by
adding 'psmouse.proto=imps' to the line that begins with kernel /vmlinuz
(assuming grub is your boot loader). This might solve the mouse problem
with FC2 also.
