Re: getting Xwindows running

[Andrew Feigenson <andrewf technologist com>]

I have tried Xconfigurator, yes.  However, I don't know what my video 
card is so I don't know which server to choose.  Does anyone know what 
video card comes in a monorail 8005?  I've contacted the company but 
they're not so responsive.
