Here is a bit more information just in case it can help someone solve this problem. The D600 also has an issue with the sound. I've read somewhere that if the Kernel moves for any reason (installing some new software not all, turning the volume down all the way from Keyboard buttons, or using the power button on the keyboard to get the shut down menu to turn off the laptop, etc), the sound card disappears. Lucid still sees the sound card but the ALSA drivers are all messed up. I usually use the instruction on this page
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 to restore the sound. Time consuming but it works the best out of all the other options suggested around the Internet. The other ones are inconsistent. One of my Dell D600's ( I have 3) is the worst out of all three and loses sound a lot more often. The interesting thing is that when the Dell D600 loses sound, the touch pad problems seem to disappear or are a lot less. I wonder if it's a conflict between the two? -- Mouse behaves strange on clicking in graphical environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444674 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-mouse in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
