Inspector Cleusau will have trouble with me _every_ time I get that 
obscure. My deepest appologies, because I wasn't thinking at all clearly. 


What _didn't_ work at all was the sound cards; one a via based chipset on 
the motherboard, the other a PCI card. I was overlooking the obvious and 
simplest possible solution to a computer conflict - pull one of the 
offenders out of the way! (After 20 minutes on the web I had to go and 
remember that solution - I am feeling deeply embarrassed about this) I 
killed the via chipset by way of the bios - and everything works lovely.

Now, it would be just lovely if somewhere on the web a HOW-TO exists which 
addresses manually configuring sound card(s) when the hardware probing 
doesn't work quite as expected, or not at all. I'll be working on that for 
some time I suspect.


The comment with respect to the NVidia card was intended as a throwaway - 
just in case something had changed in a big way with respect to these 
cards and Linux and people on this list had heard of it. After obtaining 
the appropriate driver from NVidia, installing it, and testing the 3-D 
acceleration stuff, This subsystem works and appears to work well. 


Again, my appologies to the group for an unusually obscure request.
