I then rebuilt 60 with alsa on the problematic machine, but while I
was doing that my PS/2 mouse decided it did not want to connect to
my KVM switch (it has always been a bit iffy) so I could not test.
I've now got another usb mouse, which I can swap between the (front)
usb ports of hte other machines at that desk. But the awkward
machine only works with PS/2 : I've now plugged the mosuse in
directly, and that works. But retrying youtube, it still crashes
before completing the render of the front page. So, still no idea
if using alsa still works ;-)
