Okay, I've gotten this far without help, but now I'm stuck.  I have an
RTVGA card and a Samsung VGA monitor, and 0.98 and X386 installed.  When
I run "X386 -pn" I get:

 Configured drivers
    VGA 256 (256 colour SVGA)
       et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900

       ***None of the configured devices was detected.***

 Fatal server error:
   No screens found

When I run "X386mono -pn" the screen flashes with color for just a moment, and:

 Fatal server error:
   Failed to initialize core devices

I have read Roell's timing paper, and as many X man pages as I can find, but
nothing addresses this problem.  Any suggestions?

thanks,
Dave Wilson
