I can now say after installing alsa that the sound works. Thinking that after installing alsa I'd need to run alsaconf - alsaconf dosen't seem to run correctly (I get error message such as "modinfo: could not find module snd") however it appears it didn't need to be run in the first place as the sound seems to be working anyway. I tired installing mpg123 and also libtool (it needed it) and tired to play an mp3, which worked. Also alsamixer seems to be working. The bad news is X, I'm afraid. From what I'm reading (and I'm not 100% on any of this) the mx smartbook needs its down driver called xf86-video-imx which would need to be compiled from scratch, though it dosen't provide any 2d acceleration for X. Again I'm guessing here but that needs lots of other libraries which need to be built (e.g. libz160bin) and other libraries, some of which may be propietary(!). I'm trying to infer some of this from this post - http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1870&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 ..so for now, X is impossible right now. ljones
