Would you believe that I have been running NetBSD for
three or four years and never had X Windows running? It
is true, I have had netBSD running on a slow machine that
is a firewall:)
Ok, so it is time for me to get X running on my mail
server. I have a 10 year old book on linux that talks
about getting X setup. It claims that you can use X
-probeonly to discover your video card info, but when i do
that I get this:

XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 3 September 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
