RE: key configuration and sound
I have the same problem and when I run "modprobe dmasound_pmac" it tells me
that it can't locate the module. What's the quickest way to get the module?
Can I apt-get it?
Thanks,

Or he could just run "modprobe dmasound_pmac" and add "dmasound_pmac" to
/etc/modules, so that the driver gets loaded at every startup.
That's much easier, and the DMA Sound OSS driver works just fine on a
Pismo. There's no need to go with ALSA, when there's a simpler solution
there.
