Hi,

I am new to using FreeBSD as a Workstation, although i have used FreeBSD 
for servers for various reasons for years.  I have come into a few 
problems now i have pissed off M$ completely.
[can't teach an old dog new tricks]

Running FreeBSD 5.1 on an Intel D45PESV mainboard. [onboard sound AC97 
AC1981B]

i have no sound and i cannot browse my network machines in gnome. 
Everything seems to work just fine, just that i get an error upon 
starting gnome [something about the mixer] and when i go to add a 
network server i get nothing. I have noticed that logged in as 'root' i 
can see them, just not connect.

i have no idea about testing sound outside of a GUI so i dont know about 
it being Gnome related...

on another note: does anyone know if a USB wheel mouse can work with 
5.1? [im using it with a ps2 adapter with no wheel now]

help!
