Well I think ALSA being muted will catch lots of people. As luck would have it
it was the one thing I knew about in advance and it didn't help. As far as I
can tell the Alsa i810 driver just doesn't produce audio at all. I tried both
the kernel source and the 1.0.1 source. Thankfully the OSS drivers still work.

But I'm still stuck with no mouse wheel. I'm really weirded out by this. I've
tried both /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mouse0 and neither allow X to receive
anything for the mouse wheel.

I'm using protocol MousemanPlusPS/2 with this logitech M-C48 mouse, which has
always worked fine in the past. I just verified it still works fine under
2.4.23pre4 with the same version of X.

Does it work for anyone else?
