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!
