I wonder if there's a universal law that says that someone who's new to a 
particular aspect of something will forget the rules of the rest of the 
thing :)

Aha!  It does have a TGA of some flavour in it (though I don't recall 
off-hand which one).  Would it be more to my benefit in the long run to put 
a better video card in it?  (i.e., how good are the TGA's?)

The bizarre thing is that I think that it must not be a TGA2, if it can't 
run X; it *starts* the X client - I get the gray background and the cross 
mouse pointer - just nothing else.
