        To further add to the mysteries of Fedora 15, sound works
        normally this morning after booting to the latest kernel,
        2.6.38.8-35.fc15.i686. Will it continue to work over subsequent
        reboots? That remains to be seen.

        The only other thing I found necessary was to "fix" LibreOffice
        Calc configuration in order to get it to run. That seems to be
        required after LibreOffice updates.

        Thanks for the help.
