I'm going to have to change this icon out.  No doubt about it.

I got sound working on redwolf, but it's a mess.  It turns out that the particular chip it uses, a Neomagic 256 ZX, is a particularly problematic chip (along with it's cousins in the Neomagic 256 line).  The folks behind OSS's and ALSA's drivers end up tearing their hair out over what seems to be four different revisions that the nm256 driver covers -- and what one set of patched fixes breaks the others.  It also uses video memory as a sound buffer, so X11 has to be told not to muck with it.  Maddening, isn't it?

Two down, three to go.

Since the kittens tested clean for feline lukemia, they can be adopted.

Two kittens, a black "terror" and a dark orange tabby, have been adopted already -- our neighbor who's been helping us has taken them next door, so BJ and Sam Spade are there.

The others, tenatively named "Brun Hilda" (the tortishell female), "Chicken", and "Blondie" (two orange macriel striped) are still here, so i'm babysitting kittens.  There is some intrest with the tortishell and Blondie (the lighter of the two males), so we may end up with one that needs a good home.   Anyone local to the Glenburnie area want a kitten?  I'll post photos later.
