Re: sound on toshiba sat pro 4300



Success!  Well, mostly, I get beeps now, but no mp3's, but I'm assuming that
has more to do with the player than otherwise.

I needed to mess with gpm to get the third mouse button to work.  I think if
you have mouse symlinked to gpmdata, both will work simultaneously.  Just 
you need to have both of them configured for the same protocol, speed, repeat,
etc.  I also have my laptop set to use both the internal and external mice 
simultaneously, and all still works.  I'm rather happy now.  ;-)

Thanks!
