Migrating to 2.6 kernel, some problems (sound and scroll wheel)

Hello!

I have migrated to kernel 2.6 and I'm not going back :-)
I followed this guide here:
http://www.freax.eu.org/wiki/index.php/Fedora%20core%201%20with%20kernel%202.6-test

Problem 1: Sound is not working at boot. I have a Soundblaster Live.
When I boot I need to do "/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1", start alsamixer 
and press m.
I have tried to save the alsamixer settings by "/usr/sbin/alsactl store" 
but it doesn't work.

Here's my /etc/modprobe.conf:

include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist
alias eth0 3c59x
alias char-major-116* snd
alias snd-card-0 emu10k1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && { 
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove

install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { 
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }

remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >>/dev/null 
2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove

alias usb-controller ehci-hcd


Is it true what I read in the link I gave above, that preemtive is not 
included in the arjanv kernel 2.6 ?
How can you determine if preemtive is compiled in ?

Problem 2: Scroll wheel not working on Logitech MX 300. I read somewhere 
that a guy had solved it, but I
can't find it now..

Thanks for listening :-)
