Florian, hello. How nice to have your help once again.

Needless to say, nothing did help. Perhaps the sound is just muted because Debian doesn't know about the blue function key things on the laptop. I have tried pressing the speaker-related ones, but also to no avail. Debian doesn't know about the screen brightness keys either -- gives 2 error messages for every keypress -- but they still work on the brightness. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
