Can anybody help me get sound and the touchpad work under Debian on a Compaq

Maybe I can. I have the same laptop computer and everything works fine
with Debian.
But I have installed it more than one year ago, when I was a newbie with
Debian, so my installation is not perfect.
Firefox seems to handle flash better than Modzilla does - can I apt-get
remove "Modzilla Web Browser" and "Modzilla Composer" now?
Yes.
I installed all the alsa stuff I could find to no avail. Part of the problem
is I am not sure what the sound hardware is. The Compaq site,
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?dlc=en&lc=en&product=95000&lang=
en&cc=us&docname=c00255595, lists "JBL Pro Audio System" and "Aureal A3D
Interactive 360 degree Positional Sound."
Windows said it was an "ESS Audiodrive 1869".
I saved all the system informations given by Windows in a postscript
file before deleting Windows and installing Linux. Unfortunately I'm
looking for this file and I don't find it anymore.
It works with my 2.4.27 kernel with the "sb" module :
modprobe sb irq=5
For the touchpad, I just said to Xfree that it was a PS/2 mouse and it
works well.
If it can be useful for you, here is my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 :

I hope this helps.
