Cheap and easy way to get it running *at all* is to comment out the
musserver calls (i.e. run with no sound)...then go back and figure out why
your soundcard isn't working.

I had doom working (without the musserver) a few weeks ago, but since then
I figured out how to start x with 16-bit color (S3).  Is there a way to
dynamically switch video resolutions without having to start a separate X
process?
