Concerning the CRT problem, there is the bug 217778 (well, this is
against a 2.4.25 kernel, but I said that this occurred with 2.6.5
too, and I assume that this is the same problem).
Concerning the sound problem, I posted several messages to this list,
because I was not sure I was doing the correct thing. The latest thing
I did was to put the following line in my modprobe.conf file:
install sound /sbin/modprobe dmasound_pmac
Now, I don't know, because my modprobe.conf file has been moved to
"/etc/modprobe.d/old_etc_modprobe.conf". modprobe.conf(5) doesn't say
anything about that. I assume there's a bug somewhere, but I don't
know what bug and where.

Not yet, but it isn't on the official server yet. And I prefer not
trying unless I know this is worth trying (i.e. some developer has
looked at the problem), since I need to quit all my apps, change
the monitor cables (for the CRT problem) and reboot.
