Okay, so I feel a little silly... I had just left the Monitor definition the way XFree configure-er had left it basically blank. So I was sweating away trying to figure if there was something wrong with the drivers or with the Device section, but the problem was actually that X didn't think my monitor could handle it. I put some hard numbers in there, and have no problem running 1920x1440--which is the highest resolution my monitor allows. Thanks for your help with this (to both who responded). > Yes.

If i run an lsmod, it lists the cs4281 module as being loaded (I loaded it kind of on a hunch during installation). But I'm not hearing a thing. What's a good way to test to see if the sound is working, that would return some useful errors if it wasn't? > No, you came to the right place. :-) The debian-ia64 list exists > specifically > to address questions about how to use Debian on IA-64 systems like the HP > i2000. > > Bdale Thanks--I've liked Debian for a while now, but the mailing lists have given me a new reason--everybody's so helpful!
