Did you try a simple Google search before installing FC4 or posting your
rant?  I guess not considering just the first several results of

+picturebook

However, I also did (http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22yamaha+ymf-754%
22+linux - the fifth link down might help you out a bit
(http://sol4.net/linux/pb-index.shtml)

Also, I'd recommend checking out the Linux Sony Wiki
(http://insue.com/linux/phpwiki/) which seems to be down at the moment
or joining the Linux Sony mailing list
(http://returntonature.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-sony).

You could also check out this site:

It seems to have a lot of Sony-specific information...

A little research goes a long way...  I would recommend a nicer tone
when posting to the list in the future...  I hate to pen for others, but
I think I am accurate in stating that most did not subscribe to this
list to read pissing and moaning - especially from those not willing to
put in a little effort to research before posting...

Good luck...
