I guess if i don't find someone else who's identified the x configuration, i'll have to locate the appropriate chipset in the config notes and struggle with getting X going, as i did last time. (At least this time i'll have the hardware manuals identifying the chipset, etc!) > [Some substantial info about difficulties of using OS/2.] With the sort of encouraging info about using linux that you mentioned, and the troubles with using OS/2, it sounds like linux is worth aiming for. I'm surprised that OS/2 is ungainly when it comes to resources, but after playing with it some more, i'm not real thrilled about the user interface. Seems best to just go with my familiar window managers, X, emacs, and all the stuff that comes with linux... Thanks much for the info. ken manheimer klm@cnri.reston.va.us, 703 620-8990 x259
