Sound quality
In my rush to get the last podcast done, the sound quality was a lot worse than it should have been. I have done some experimenting, and the next pod/car cast will have better sound quality for sure. I know what I did wrong, and the same mistake will not be repeated.

dapper drake dazed and confused
Ubuntu's dapper drake (6.06) on my HP Pavillion dv5040us is driving me crazy!
The touchpad cursor has a mind of it's own! This wa NOT a problem with breezy (5.10). Since upgrading though, I have nothing but problems. It's a little better since disabling tap to click in xorg.conf, but it's still a problem. For the most part, I can use the laptop, but I still have to more than occasionally "reset" the touchpad's ability to select and click, by dropping out to a virtual console (ctrl-F1) and dropping back into to X-windows (ctrl-F7). This is WAY more than just a little irratating! I have tired everything short of a new kernel or a clean install (this was an upgrade from breezy). I have tried boot options: acoi=off, noapic, nolapic, pci=noacpi, pci=routeirq; I have tried module optons pcmouse=proto.bare, and pcmouse=proto.imps; I have tried 3 different synaptics drivers (including one outside the repositories); I have tried many different synaptics xorg.conf options as well. /var/log/messages keeps telling me stuff like:
laptop kernel: [4329915.038000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1
and
laptop kernel: [4330728.139000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 - driver resynched
Those messages happen (almost always) at the same time I have to "reset" the cursor by dropping in and out of x-windows.
The most progress I have made is with the kernel boot option acpi=off, but this causes my wireless to stop working, and gives a message saying something about bcm43xx cannot registerirq
If anyone out there has the solution or knows someting I can try, please let me know. If there is a way to make this work, and still have wireless, life would be great. As it is now, life stinks!
