i agree
chkconfig --list
i think shows you whats up

i turned off a ton of stuff after i got going and my Sony Vaio PCG 
GRX 560
1.6 GHz, 512, ATI Radeon 7500 works nice with ALSA and midiman 
2x2
and if i fool it it will sometimes load my emi 2|6 as a usb audio 
device instead of the midiman

cheers
