Using Pclinux 2008 minime
I installed compiz related packages using synaptic . Restarted and now there are several problems

1. Mouse is frozen . don't know what to do here

2. sound doesn't start. I get an error
could not find /dev/dsp , "error initializing sound" .

3. Compiz doesn't start, nor do ht window decorations.. I can get normal kwin decorations back using kwin --replace. Ut emerald or anything compiz related refuses to start .. what to do?

some hardware info might help?
dose your system meet the min. requirements ?
do you have a 3d card or pseudo "3d" built in chipset ( on the mobo)?
if a card is it ATI or nvidia ?
if built in then ati,nvidia,intel,... ?
is there a driver installed for it ?
