Changing the repeat_type option to "none" in gpmconfig did it.

I'm not using APM at the moment. Unfortunately the 2.4.4 kernel crashes now
every time I insert the PCMCIA token ring IBM card. I read the note
from Guenther to recompile the pcmcia-cs package with PnP BIOS option
set to "y" which I did but the kernel still crashes in the same way.
I'm currently using 2.2.19pre17 where the PCMCIA card works fine.
I built the ALSA 0.9pre4 package for the maestro3 chip; the module
is loadable with modeprobe but alsamixer is not working. I used strace
and it looks like I'm lacking a asound.conf file - can anyone provide
me such a file???
