You would need the xpm4.7 package under oldlibs for a libc5 version of
Netscape.

Check out the xset command.

Well, get your copy of the kernel source. Then download the awe32 patch
(available as Debian package). Follow the instructions in the
/usr/src/awe-source (I think...its awe-something). Then go and configure
your kernel. You will also need isapnp for the awe64. 

You can take a look at the KERNEL-HOWTO and Sound-HOWTO for more info.
There should also be one for the Awe32 if I remember correctly.

Hope this helps
