X download and installed latest NVIDIA drivers

Here is my XF86Config file.
I use alsa (alsa-driver-0.9.8)
PCM play and record is fine via internal soundcard
usb-audio play and record OK.
Here is /etc/modules.conf
Modem (winModem) does not appear to be supported yet (INTEL 537)
Power management does not appear to be supported.
Sony does not appear to provide technical info for linux developers.
Playing CDs does not work via mixer (is CD audio out connected to sound
card ?)
It can be made to work using xmms and the XMMS-cdread (VERSION
0.14) plugin
(rips and plays in real time).
It is worth it for the great screen :-)
