   <p>When you configure a button you will be presented with a black window with a titlebar
   indicating what button to map.  FceuX will look for two
   of the same keypress/joystick event in a row.  If it doesn't find two of the same

  <p>Try using different SDL audio drivers.  You can set the SDL audio driver with

+ the following command:</p>
  <p><b>export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=driver</b></p>
- <p>where driver is: esd,oss,alsa,pulse,nas,arts  .  You should probably 
- try them in that order.  esd is the best choice if you are using pulseaudio 
- or the esound daemon.  OSS (with ALSA being seond here)is best if you have
- no sound daemon running.  I can't confirm if nas or arts work at all (but
- I'd definately avoid arts altogether). SDL's pulse driver has a lot of issues if you are using
- older versions of SDL or pulseaudio.  If you are having problems and you use 
- pulseaudio try the esd SDL driver.
+ <p>where driver is: esd,oss,alsa,pulse,nas,arts.</p>
+ <p>There have been a lot of sound related bug fixes for the SDL port in recent releases, so 
+ you may want to try the latest version of fceuX to see if you are still having issues.  FceuX 
+ 2.1.4 fixed the majority of the reported sound issues.

+ <a name="hotkeys1"><h3>How can I change my emulator hotkey bindings?</h3></a>
  <p>You need to edit your ~/.fceux/fceux.cfg file.  The SDL.Hotkeys.* values
  are SDL keysyms, which can be found in SDL_keysym.h (probably
  /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h on your system).  At the time of writing,
- hotkeys are not mappable from the GUI in sdl.

- <a name="hotkeys2"><h3>Can I map hotkeys to my gamepad?</h3></a>
- <p>No, not from within fceuX.  However, there is a great script available
- called jkeys that will convert joystick button presses and axis movements to keyboard
- keypresses.  You can map your joystick buttons to whatever hotkey you'd like.
- <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jkeys/">Jkeys</a> works great with fceuX.
- There aren't any releases on the website, but don't let that scare you.
- You can easily obtain the script via subversion:</p>
- <p><b>svn checkout http://jkeys.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ jkeys-read-only</b></p>
+ <a name="hotkeys2"><h3>Can I map emulator hotkeys to my gamepad?</h3></a>
+ <p>If you want to map particular hotkeys (pause, save state, load state, etc) to buttons on 
+ your gamepad, you can use software that allows you to map joystick events to key presses. 
+ <a href="http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/">qjoypad</a> is the recomended solution for this.  You
+  can also use <a href="http://code.google.com/p/jkeys/">Jkeys</a> to do this.
