Yup, that works. Thanks.
(Slight weirdness in that the kernel reports my graphics chipset to be

as well. But I now get the right colour
I force xv to do perfect-colours, then the palette doesn't
change when I move the mouse pointer into the window; so I suspect that

Can you cat stuff directly to /dev/dsp correctly?

Try using MacOS to format an 800kB disk and then do the above on it. It should

Thanks for any help --- this is my first experience with non-Intel Linux. I've
been extremely impressed so far; it's, like, Linux. Nothing odd about it at
