Hello All,

	Thanks to all the people who replied to my post about xload, 
I got it working.. =) 
	But I have another question.. I've been trying to get a Gravis
Ultrasound (v 3.7) to work with FreeBSD 1.1.51, but I haven't been able
to.  I've recompiled the kernel to support the Gravis and built the 
devices in dev using MAKEDEV, but all I get out of the gravis is static
and noise.  I've tried cating an .au file to /dev/audio and playing a mod 
using gmod, and both sound dreadful.  I've been playing with various 
settings (irq, dmq) with the Gravis and nothing has worked.. Has anybody
gotten a Gravis to work with FreeBSD?   Thanks for any info!
