In addition to the ZAxisMapping setting, I have the following: Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Buttons" 3 Is gpm running? If not, try to use the following rc script: # more /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm #!/bin/sh # Start/stop/restart the GPM mouse server: if [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then echo "Stopping gpm..." /usr/sbin/gpm -k elif [ "$1" = "restart" ]; then echo "Restarting gpm..." /usr/sbin/gpm -k sleep 1 /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2 else # assume $1 = start: echo "Starting gpm: /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2" /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2 fi Depending on your actual mouse, imps2 might not be correct but I think it's general enough to work with most mice. As far as audio goes, I had a similar problem, did you build a custom kernel? If so, you'll be missing stuff in /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/sound unless you rebuild alsa as well. If not, make sure you have alsa-driver installed and your modules.conf is correct, here are my settings: # ALSA setting alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx snd_device_gid=81 snd_device_uid=0 snd_mpu_port=0x330 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=1 snd_dma16=3 snd_mic_agc=0 device_gid=81 device_uid=0 options snd snd_major=116 cards_limit=1 device_mode=0666 options snd-es18xx index=0 id="ES1879" port=0x240 mpu_port=0x330 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=3 fm_port=0x388 isapnp=0 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Yours will be different depending on your card, the ALSA homepage (http://www.alsa-project.org/) has great documentation on the Supported Soundcards section.
