tqft's Journal: Feisty Sound and Mouse vs Dapper

So a couple of things didn't want to play well with Dapper, so I upgraded to Feisty and no I am not going to try the 1.1 GB upgrade to Gutsy via dialup right now or wait 6 weeks for the cd to be posted (by which time the updates are huge again).

1) Is anyone reading this in Brisbane Qld have a Gutsy Gibbon cd to an upgrade for x86 32 bit? I will buy you a beer in the city for it.

or
2)how to fix my sound and mouse which worked nicely under Dapper but are now working but slightly screwed. Sound was loud and clear under Dapper /etc/alsa/alsa-base ...
options intel_hda model=ALC882 /*or something close to that*/

On boot says model not recognised "auto probing BIOS", I get sound and all 5.1 channels but is very soft - I have to turn the volume up.

My mouse an IBM optical scroll mouse (with lever rather than wheel), I had working great. Now the scroll lever doesn't work consistently. I installed imwheel and that helped a little but not a lot.

I have my /home on a separate partition, could something have carried over it didn't like?
