I just installed Mandrake 6.1 on my laptop (Compaq Prosignia 150).
Everything installed cleanly, but I can't get the sound to work.
I get an error message when I try the "aumix" program:
# aumix
aumix: error opening /dev/mixer: Success
I get a similar error when I click on the mixer icon:
kmix: could not open mixer
Perhaps you have no permission to access the mixer device
Login as root and do a 'chmod a+rw /dev/mixer*' to allow the access
The permissions on /dev/mixer and /dev/mixer1 are OK.
I think there may be some modules that are not getting loaded when I boot,
but I don't know which ones to try.
I'm also having trouble with the mouse (it's actually a touchpad) settings.
The pointer moves too fast and jumps all over the place. I have set the
mouse speed to the slowest setting, but it still moves too quickly. Are
there any other configuration settings for the mouse? I tried
'mouseconfig' but it didn't fix the problem.
