As an aside, I don't have sound or flash working yet - gnash doesn't seem to work and swf-dec is not in stretch. Can anyone point me in the right direction

If you happen to be running the 4.5.0-rc2 kernel I built, it should work out of the box, assuming that no snd-aoa modules happen to be previously blacklisted.
I recall a quirk with sound and it seemed that the built in speaker is always muted by default the first time snd-aoa driver is used!
Not sure if anyone else has noticed this?

Either way, in a console run alsamixer and check that the master and pcm output is not muted and increase the levels.... It should work (i hope)!

If sound still doesn't work, please post your dmesg log when using the 4.5.0-rc2 kernel.

Thanks Peter

alsa-utils wasn't installed - so installed it and #dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base seems to have done the trick

Just flash left to go...

Regards

Clive
