Do you have a build date for the system? Gateway seems to prefer ATI
video cards; my 486/66, which was built 7/93, has an ATI Mach32 VLB
card.
If you give me a list of the magic numbers printed on the chips on
your video board, I may be able to help you more.
If all else fails, the VGA server should work.
