I'm running sid too with 2.6.5, but sound seems so
fine for me ( even not with alsa ). All I need is just
chmod the mixer,modprobe the device and add my user
into sound group. But I'm not that lucky in display
stuff ( I'd googled for about a month just to find how
to make my i845G onboard works...)

I think this is the classic but still up to date
common problem in Linux. Almost all of us must become
a surgeon if we want all the stuff we've got works
nice in Linux. I wonder when this would end ... ( hope
the happy ending )
