Laptops :: Thinkpad 380ED infrared, sound and some questions



i have just done a HD install to my IBM thinkpad 380ED and now i have some questions:

* how can i use the infrared port to send and recieve files from my     cellphone or pocketpc?

* my sound is not working, i have a Crystal cs4232 soundchip, i think... how to solve this, well even if it works, how to test it? cant find any sound files in dsl...

* are there any powersaving utilitys available for my laptop?

* is there a nautilus like filemanager available for dsl?

ps: i do not have an internet connection nor usb on this laptop, so all has to be done by floppys and cdroms

Peter,

Im running a IBM 385ED .  I cant get the mouse to work
It will move but I cannot click?
You probably have a similar trackpad ( the red eraser looking thing) .  Does yours work?

about the audio-- you will need a couple modprobe commands, I forget what they are because I did a reinstall and lost my peice of paper with the modprobe commands.  But after entering the modprobe it should work try googling it.

my eraser is working fine :) ehm, when you config X select no usb mouse and IMP ps/2 mouse, thats what i did and all is working fine
hey there peter, try this modprobes at the CLI, your sound should work beautifully.

modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5

then

modprobe opl3 io=0x388

that should get it runnin for ya. GL with the touchpad.

oops, that was the wrong one, try this one.

modprobe opl3 io=0x388

modprobe cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9
