K7N2 / nforce2 boards


I'm having trouble getting my sound and usb mouse to work. i'm using the 2.4.22 kernel. I had sound working with the 2.4.20 kernel but i can't boot that kernel with my board (somehow the gentoo install cd does ..). If i try to boot with the 2.4.20 it locks on the IDE controller part while booting. I turned on usb bus mouse support and turned on Logitech just like my other gentoo box but this nforce2 one wont work. Also i'm having trouble getting direct rendering working. Whats the dea this that? it wont work with XFree 4.3?

USB mouse
sound
direct rendering

2600+, MSI k7n2 delta, UDMA harddrive, Radeon 8500 LE, logitech bus mouse. Gentoo 1.4 with linux version 2.4.22
