Hi,

I'm installing 6.0-REL on a brand new laptop Fujitsu-Siemens
Lifebook E 8020 and (the good news first) it went well and
without any problem the X.org runs out of the box in 1400x1050,
for example.

The only problem until now is the poor volume of the sound. The
KDE uses the sound system but the volume is very low. It mus have
something todo with the sound.ko or snd_ich.ko because before
loading the drivers the volume of the  normal keyboard bell is very
high. And then, after loading the drivers, is very poor too.

The details are:

$ cat /dev/sndstat
