Hey, If I had $2000, I get a good graphics card and monitor for my 386!  Have
you ever ran X on a standard VGA?  640x480x16?  Tis a shame, since my VGA card
supports 800x600x256, but my X drivers don;t support my card.  The standard
A3000 isn't much better.  It supports some better resolutions, but nothing like
1024x768x256-- the resolution I am starting to think should be minimum for 
X workstations.  Now that's 768K of display memory, which makes a total of 4
meg of RAM almost unuseable for real work.

Well.  I didn't see the -g option, but I did strip it.  What's the -g option?
You always wanted to discuss UNIX, GNU, X-Windows, and i386's on the Amiga 
news group...
