For you sound issue, does it work as root? If not you need to follow the ALSA guide at http://gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml
In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf make sure you have the following
Adjust the Resolutions to fit your screen.
[/code]
Section "Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection

For the sound question, do you have sound when you are logged in as root if so you need to add your user to the audio group[/code]? Have you followed the ALSA guide on http://gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml
For your second question you need to add the following to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Under the Screen Section
[/code]
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
[code]

I was having the same problem when I update my kernel to 2.6.13. Root didn't have any problems, but regular users did.
I found one fourm that sugested to see who is blocking the device.
It seemed like there was a permisions problem to the device, so I opened it up for every one.
Code: | chmod 777 /dev/dsp* |
That fixed the sound problem for me for my regular non-root users. I probably should find out what the best way is to set the permsions is, but it is atleast working. _________________ Intel 486 DX4 100

Is the regular user part of the "audio" group, if not try adding them with:
Code: | gpasswd -a username audio |

Maybe sound works with different programs, try mpg123 or alsaplayer for playing mp3s and wmmixer for volume control. |
