[Debian-eeepc-devel] Sound on eeepc 900 not working

[obregonmateo at gmail.com]

Wow, first eeepc 900s with Debian then.

I followed the instructions at wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC, but they are quite 
sparse at times.

I tried the alsamixer tricks, but nothing.

Also, I tried setting up my external 19" monitor (1440x900) as a separate 
display area (like I have for my old and heavy laptop), but the eeepc 900 
only shows a mirrored display on both screens, BUT, at the correct max 
resolution for each (1024x600 for internal and 1440x900 for external)! The 
internal is set-up as a virtual 1440x900 screen. What should I try to get two 
separate displays?

I'm new to this list; I can try new kernel modules etc if someone steps me 
though the process of cross-compiling them on my Debian/etch laptop.

Thanks.

Mateo.
