I mean (approximately) that I have a disk partition with RH 5.2
installed on it which I mount as /compat/linux.

It seems to be emulation related.  I discovered that installing the
linux_lib port instead of mounting RH 5.2 resulted in a correctly
functioning audio playback -- although I can't play midi files using
the pcm driver. (Presumably G2 is trying to use the OSS FM interface.)

A different problem with video, however:  At 8bpp at least, the colors
are all wrong.  Does anyone know if there is a way to make the player
install its own colormap?
