And now to the graphics: is this integrated graphics? Sometimes you need
to reserve some more Video RAM in the BIOS. /var/log/XFree86.0.log might
be of good help in this sense.
Other users with Intel graphics chipsets had a similar problem when
trying higher resolutions. Have a glance on 855resolution at
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/
and
http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/
The first one applies to Dell computers, but I have used it successfully
on Acer TravelMate also.
Good luck,
Ionut
PS With respect to sound, I can only second Jonathan's advice on ALSA. I
have the same sound chip and it works great.
