Question soundcard and mousewheel and videocard


Hi everyone....

I have Debian on my computer, and there's 2 things i'm having trouble with: my soundcard and the wheel on my mouse.

how do i get debian to use my soundblaster audigy gamer soundcard? I can't seem to find an appropriate .conf or similar.

i have a ibm optical navigator mouse. how do i make gnome use the scroll wheel?

finally, a more minor issue: i have a radeon 8500 vid card. ati makes a driver for it, but it doesn't seem to be able to use the 3-d effects on it. any thoughts?

thanks!

This is how I got my wheel mouse working under RedHat 7.2 I'm not sure how Debian works but it may be similar.
1.) login as root
2.) open & edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file
3.) under the pointer section change protocal to TMPS/2 ( mine was PS/2)
4.) make sure that ZAxis Mapping IS NOT commented out
5.) restart X server & it should work
As I said this was under RedHat 7.2 I don't know a lot about Debian but maybe it is similar as for the sound & video I don't really know except that under Slackware you'll have to uncomment out the line for your soundcard in the /etc/rc.d/rc.modolues file. Maybe this will help in someway or the other.
