I am using v1.1.3 of BootX, but still no sound.
I am missing the /dev/dsp device. Anyone know how to create this?
Does esd (E sound daemon) work under YDL?

I just got my 3 button (actually 2 button + wheel) USB mouse working
great with my Powerbook by using the XF86Config file at
http://www.loomer.com/linuxppc/#lombard.
It also includes a description of how to set up both a USB mouse and the
trackpad at the same time. I haven't tried it yet, but I will...
