sound card?  good question.  i never did plug speaker into that sucker, come
to think of it.  it looks like an integrated Sound Blaster type X?  same as
on my Win machine that doesn't crash with a newer version of netscape.
my video card has been relatively happy.  NVidia Quadra2.  i have to rebuild
the drivers by hand, since the don't have a RedHat 7.1, kernel-2.4.9-* rpm
for it.  but it handles most things i throw at it pretty well.

What X server is /etc/X11/X a symlink to?

i think i'll look into what you describe below.  although, i've been using
netscape now since about 1993 or 4.  maybe it is time for a change.
