My installation is an upgrade from FC1 and following rawhide -
(currently with kernel-2.64-1.305). I believe sound & USB were
configured correctly by kudzu for me on the T40
$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
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 || :
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
After boot - I crank up the volume with gnome-volume-control
(volume,pcm) - and I can play mp3 files.
I had tried an external usb device earlier last week with
kernel-2.6.4-1.300. I was able to connect to a usb drive enclosure
with a dvd-rw drive in it.
However there are mails in this list about usb problems with
kernel-2.64-1.305
